Problem Symptom:

Consider the following scenario:

You use the Windows Backup utility to perform a backup on a computer that is running Windows 7. The backed up files are saved on a hard disk drive.
You use the Windows Backup utility again to perform a backup for a group of files that are larger than the first group of backed up files.

In this scenario, the backup process requires significantly more time than the backup process for the first group of backed up files.

For example, the backup process requires 2 hours for 100 gigabytes (GB) of files and 16 hours for 400 GB of files.

Solution:

A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that is described in this article. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing the problem described in this article.

Hey VG, Is it dangerous to apply the hotfix even if there isn't a problem?
Cos I haven't used Windows Backup, neither do I want to waste more than an entire day or two just checking whether I have that problem....

Can I just apply it to be on the safe side?

hi vishal. sorry this is out-topic. can i ask you
what is wrong with a laptop showing kernel32 error and sometimes
cannot boot on normal mode.

this is on windows xp. how do i deal with it?

thanks. ^^
VG

^^ Most probably a corrupt system file problem. Try to repair Windows using setup disc. You can also try to run following command in Command Prompt:

sfc /scannow

@MuTz777
Not dangerous but at the same time not advisable. You can try to install it and if you face any problem, uninstall it.
