Errors in Win10 backup

[ajwh 0]

Using Version 10.5.0.110

 

I regularly (weekly) back up my wife's machine across the network.

 

On the last two occasions I've been getting errors:

I've run CCleaner against her registry with no benefit.

 

Borh machines are running Win10Pro64, fully updated.

 

This problem first occurred on Dec 6th:

All suggestions gratefully received.....

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.

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!

Have you run chkdsk on C?

Sorry about the delay - yes I've run the Win10 file checker - no issues.(Win10 doesn't do chkdsk).

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.

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.
