Dell Backup and Recovery

Hi,

Here is a link to Dell Backup and Recover Version 1.8.1.71, A00.

Here is a link to the support article discussing DBAR and what improvements are available in the newer version. I don't know specifically what enhancements were made to this version but hopefully it will recognize your USB drive now.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the information. I checked the operating system requirements of version 1.8.x.x.; Windows 10, which is installed on my computer is not shown in the list of compatible operating systems; from this I gather that new version of Dell Backup and Recovery does not support my OS. Could this be the reason why version 1.7.x.x.x on my computer does not recognize the USB external hard drive, which   I complained about in my previous post ?

Hi,

I didn't realize you had upgraded to Windows 10.   Please check out this support article about Dell Backup & Recovery with Windows 10.  It provides a link to DBaR 1.9, which is the version compatible with systems that upgraded to Windows 10.   It may provide the resolution you're looking for.

I am still on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.

What Version of Dell Backup and Recovery should I be using?

If I have already updated Dell Backup and Recovery to 1.9.2.8, how would I go back to an earlier Version that is more compatible with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit?

Hi Donald,

Try this link.

Pardon me for my denseness.

I had already seen that link & even printed it.

But, I still don't see the answer to my Question.

Since I am already on Version 1.9.2.8 of Dell Backup and Recovery (updated to that from Version 1.8.1.70) - should I just keep what I have for use in Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit?

Or should I un-install the Version 1.9.2.8 of Dell Backup and Recovery & re-install a 1.8xxx Version?

Even simpler if I could just install a Version 1.8 over the Version 1.9.2.8?  Or, is that not possible?

Ok, so you have version 1.9.2.8. Does it work? Are you planning to upgrade to Win 10?

I do have Version 1.9.2.8.

I assume it works, but I really do not use Dell Backup and Recovery for anything.

I will eventually upgrade to Win 10 -  but not anytime soon.

The problem I am having is with the 2 Drives being created since Dell requires that they be assigned Drive Letters - See my 1-24-16 post in this thread.

I'm not sure why drive letters were created for those partitions. They're not Windows partitions so you probably shouldn't see them in disk management. As long as you've created a recovery disc set or flash drive, you should not need to maintain back-ups of those partitions.

Hi there!

First of all, forgive my ignorance.

I do not really know how to get my problem solved with my Dell Backup & Recovery Premium 1.9.2.8 version, so I hope you will be able to help me.

I have a Dell XPS12, Win 8.1. Pro, 256 GB SDD. I was able to do a data backup, a bootable backup, a instant restore snapshot, but not able to do a system backup. The operation gets cancelled after about 5 to 10 minutes into the backup sequence telling the destination location is unavailable or not enough space on the disk.

Since I was able to do a data back up, I do not think that the destination location is unavailable. Also I have over 256 GB of free memory on my destination external hard drive.

Looking forward to your input. Many thanks!
