You have a computer that runs Windows 7.
You run the Configure Backup wizard as shown in theexhibit. (Click the Exhibitbutton.)
You need to ensure that you can back up the computer to a local disk drive.

An external hard drive
External hard drives can be removed and stored in asecure location. However, they are typically slower than
internal hard drives and tend to be less reliable, mainly because they are by default formatted using FAT rather
than NTFS. You cannot use an external hard drive for a System Image backup unless you convert its filing
system to NTFS. Because it is easily removable, it is more likely that an external hard drive will be missing
when a scheduled backup is required. (Local disk drive was specified, not internal)
NOT Administrator
You need administrator credentials to configure scheduled backups or to manually initiate a backup. However,
restoring files does not require administrator privileges unless a user attempts to restore another user’s file.
(NOTE: The issue was a lack of location to store the Backup, not being about to run the Configure Backup, thus
it was assumed that the user in this scenario had administrator credentials)
NOT VSS
VSS is installed on computers running Windows 7. Its startup type is Manual. The service starts as needed. If
the service does not start when required, shadow copies are unavailable for backup and Windows Backup does
not succeed. Nor can you create restore points and previous versions. In this case, check the service and
ensure that it has not been disabled
NOT Backup Operators
Members of this group are able to override file andfolder access restrictions for the purpose of backing up
data. You can allow a user to back up files and directories by assigning them to the Backup Operators group
rather than by modifying the Back Up Files and Directories policy.
