Backup Error Ox800700003

Hi
I back up my files up to a external harddrive but I am getting an error.
I am worried that all my stuff is not being saved but I dont know how to correct it. I'm using windows 10 .

This is the message
'Backup encountered a problem while backing up ErrorThe system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003)'

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

 

So it has been working normally but has started generating this error? We need more info -

Is your backup drive listed when you right click the start icon and click File Explorer > This PC? If so, can you see your most recent backups? Or, if this is an over-the-counter backup drive with pre-installed backup software, what is it? Maybe someone who uses a similar drive could help.

 

I cant remember getting this error before when I've backed up. I use a Seagate external drive which I plug into the PC to back up to and the drive is listed on This PC as the one to back up to. The back up does seem to be present on the external drive but I am concerned that large parts of my stuff have not saved due to this error. Thanks

 

If you don't know what has been backed up and what hasn't jannie then you also wouldn't know how to restore files from a backup if you needed to, which makes the question you have asked a bit irrelevant. Please learn how to use your backup program and how to examine your backups as to what should be there and what is actually there. Only then will we know whether there is or is not a problem. If you can establish the Seagate backup program name there is a better chance of getting the attention of someone else who uses it.

 

Hi
Thanks to both of you for your replies. I will have a look at it in more detail as you suggest and also check whether the drive is full but I'm sure there is plenty of space on it.
