Fixing the Vista backup error "the system cannot find the specified file"

I used this information to help cure the same problem on my Vista system, and would like to add that I suspect another issue contributes to the same problem: I continued to have intermittent difficulties with the same error on a removeable USB Drive, and have since disable disk cascheing in computer mangement, by selecting "Optimize for quick removal", rather than "Optimize for performance". I suspect that the disk cascheing does not work well with the large files in the disk images.

I would also like to recommend an outstanding disk imaging program that is easy to use, inexpensive and versatile. Macrium Reflect. Go to www.Macrium.com for info or a free trial.
