Ghost 15 not backing up .wtv files (Windows 7 Media Center)

There is a read-only thread in this forum that was not resolved on this topic, but I too can confirm that Ghost 15 does not appear to be backing up Windows 7 Media Center TV recordings (.wtv) in the My Computer Backup use case. I've looked into my backup files, and the directory they are stored in \Users\Public\Recorded TV is in the backup, but the .wtv contained therein are not.

 

I can create a File and Folder backup that seems to back up the files, but the My Computer backup doesn't copy them? Anyone else seeing this issue?

Hi sircoolio,

 

Welcome to the forum. Yes I remember this topic. I assume you are referring to this one, correct?

 

I never was able to reproduce this with the same filenames and the other person was not able to continue troubleshooting due to a death in the family.

 

Can you try the following?

 

1) Try a one time backup from Ghost instead of doing it through the normal backup job.

 

2) Boot to the Ghost recovery CD and do a backup from there and see if these files are included.

 

Do you see the problem only with files in the Public folder?

 

Thanks

Allen
