How do I get AOMEI Backupper to remember where back is

edited September 2014 in AOMEI Products Support

I create back ups   (one data, one system)
These take place happily and can be seen on my networked drives ...

Next time I load AMOEI Backupper, in home screen I can see dates of
previous backup, yet when I choose incremental it starts then fails ...

Checking volumes...

Backing up the information of storage device...

Backing up of the volume 0 (D:)...

Backing up data...

Information Code:4101

Failed to create file.


If I then browse to backups and try again, I have been able to get it to work.

It appears to me that it is simply failing to go to correct drive, is there a way of setting path, or getting backupper to rememeber where it put the backup?

  • The software should remember where the backup was stored to begin with.  Are the network drive locations you're storing the backups on mounted automatically when you log into Windows?

    The backup drives do auto logon on

    It is possible I moved backups to put them all under a common 'backup' folder, I can see them, and if I use   Utilities > Explore image I can see them... can I  reset the path  so AMOEI knows where they are and where i want next incremenatl backup to go.

  • Sargan,


    There is no method in the program's user interface to do this; however, if you shut down the software then modify the configuration file in c:\programdata\aomeibr you can change the path.  I recommend if you choose to do this that you make a backup of the file first (it's labeled taskx.x.x.xml).  Change only the path to where the backup files are stored and nothing else.
