ajwh 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2015 Using Version 10.5.0.110 I regularly (weekly) back up my wife's machine across the network.

Scillonian 52 Report post Posted December 13, 2015 Was this a clean install of Windows 10 or an upgrade? My experience is that upgrades have given me problems but clean installs have so far been fine. As for the -3050 errors I have found these to usually occur when disk IO is overloaded. Such a situation could be Retrospect trying to do a backup, Windows Update updating and Windows Defender do a scan all at the same time. Something has to give and it is Retrospect that looses.

ajwh 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2015 Both machines are upgradees - but three months ago. Retrospect has been working well until recently. It's the Can't back up registry, error -1013 (malformed name) which worries me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajwh 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 Sorry about the delay - yes I've run the Win10 file checker - no issues.(Win10 doesn't do chkdsk). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scillonian 52 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 Sorry about the delay - yes I've run the Win10 file checker - no issues. If it is due to corruption within the Registry then this will not show when checking files. Did this problem start after the update/upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1511 (Threshold 2 update)? Several of my machines that were upgrades from earlier versions of Windows had minor issues after this update. (Win10 doesn't do chkdsk). It still there — they just call it 'Error checking' now.

ajwh 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 OK - I've run chkdsk ( it's there from the Command Prompt) - no issues. This is a machine which started with XP, then had an upgrade to Win7, then another to Win10, and I think it's just too much. Something has got crossed..... It's seven years old, and I'm replacing it.
