Error 4140

I'm using your software for the very first time, to backup my drives to an external drive. But about 6 hours later, when the backup was 100% done, I received this error. I was told restarting my computer might solve the "problem". But there was nothing on my external drive!!!! I wasted 6 hours backing up... nothing? Please help, because I have no idea what that error means.

  • I have same error, but I do use external drive. I try install software, reboot system. And I try to backup a partition. But I get error code 4140, it needs restart my system. I try restart and try again but notthing change. I try open services, I found ambakdrv services do not start.

    So can you help me what system services need for aomei backupper?

    If I try with acronis true image, it works good.

    I have no idea!
