Complete PC Restore not working

B

Brian W

Since getting Vista Ultimate 32-bit, I've made regular System backups onto
an external HDD. I've restored my PC a few times using these backups with no
problem at all. When I tried to restore a backup yesterday, Windows gives an
error 'an internal error occured while enumerating backup sets' after the
'scanning for backup discs' phase. As a result, there are no backups
available to restore. I've used the same external HDD every time, and I even
created a new backup after re-formatting the backup HDD. The backup always
appears to complete successfully (the message says so after creating the
backup).

I've made absolutely no changes to the HDDs or anything but suddenly I
cannot restore backups and I'm very annoyed!

Any ideas what's gone wrong? Even a very old backup I made on my internal
HDD does not get found.

I am having a simliar problem,i have just gone through doing a complete PC Backup restore ,it goes through and completes this as it usually does and reboots but all i get is a blank screen whilst loading and thats it!even in safe mode it just will not load OS.I have tried the startup repair and get a report that windows cannot repair this computer automatically and to send the information to microsoft for a solution.So now i have Vista installed which appears not to have a problem but just will not load and im pretty annoyed as its obviously corrupted and i have lost all that should have been protected safely using this as a backup,what a joke!thanks for nothing microsoft!
