I really hate Microsoft sometimes. So is able to do a full backup. However the restore did not work. So I had to completely restore the computer back to factory default. Now I can't restore the backup. My backup is on an external drive however when I try to restore it and only sees today's backup.


Any ideas?
 
What type of backup did you perform? Is it just a data backup, meaning you would to reinstall the OS, then all apps and finally data from External, or it is an image style backup where you would restore the whole machine from the backup file?

When the update shut my computer down it asked if I wanted to complete a backup 1st so I did. Here is what it shows on the drive that completed the backup.
