I have a Windows 7 laptop and I recently installed a Samsung 840 PRO series SSD. I performed the data migration, installed the new drive, and then installed the Samsung Magician software (V4.1). Everything appeared to work correctly...but now when I go to the Control Panel and select "Back up your computer" nothing happens. I get a window with a title of "Back up or restore your files" but it's completely empty -- all the normal controls, settings, and options are gone. If someone knows how I can attach a screenshot I'd be happy to .
I had been using the Windows "Backup and Restore" program to routinely back up my data. I have an external USB drive that I use as a back up drive. I performed a backup right before I installed the new SSD, so I know everything was working correctly before the upgrade. Perhaps the Samsung Magician program somehow disabled the Windows Backup program? If so, how can I re-enable it? I would like to be able to continue to back up my data to an external drive as I was before. I've seen a few message threads where people describe a similar problem, but I haven't found one that describes a solution. Please help!
