Network Attached Storage is Not Allowed Storage? This problem has been fixed in Windows 8, but Microsoft needs to understand that people aren’t going to upgrade to Windows 8 in order to get backups to work – they’re just going to be annoyed, or switch to OSX. Apparently only Western Digital’s large drives can be made to work with Windows 7’s image backup. Sorry Costco, it’s Microsoft’s fault, but I still had to take it back. It doesn’t work with Windows 7’s image backup system and with this particular drive there is no way to make it work.
I just bought a 4 TB backup drive from Costco. Still annoyed after all these years (update February 2014) If you remember just one thing from this post, remember 0x8078002A.Īnd remember the importance of demanding software that just works. Replacing my ad hoc system with something real was way more complicated than it should have been.
I’d been doing ad hoc backups for years (a batch file that zips and copies all the important directories) but that system was clearly insufficient.
