Backup?

I'm new to gaming.

I have an external drive hooked up to the console. Can I back up the Forza 7 game that took 2 to 3 days to down load? (I mean in the traditional way in which the game would be copied so that I don't have to resort to another multi day download if something
happens to the drive in the console.)

Transferred everything to Flashdrive to Troubleshoot HDD. After configuring, testing, and transferring everything...UNFORMATTED FLASHDRIVE!!

I've been having issues with my 360 for over a month now. Games I haven't played in a while need a update. NO PROB, but it nver happens and I get an error code. Ok, so I only play Fallout NV which works fine. So now my son is bugging me to play RE5 or Aof2,
40th day and no go. Needs an update! Now, I have a console 360 with my Elite 120G HDD in it. This is the 2nd 360 and the 3rd. HDD...So, I'm already alittle mad because of this small MONEYPITT. I'm an older gamer and remember having to blow into my Atari to
get it to work. Anyway, I have a feeing the HDD is going again so I go buy a BRAND NEW PNY 16Gb Flashdrive to put my stuff on so I don't lose everything like the last time the HDD died. I put it in, formatted it(no need configuring, I needed most of the space),
it then went through it's testing phase...I then re-named it(FOR XBOX ONLY) so I wouldn't use it for anyhing else accidentally. I then started copying more important files then stopped when I found out I could transfer everything at once. So I transferred
everything to the Flash. I removed the HDD, restarted the 360, went to memory, and theres an UNFORMATTED FLASHDRIVE!!! Honestly, by now I'm used to it(yes 360 bashing), I've spent more money and time with "THESE" 360's than I care to admit. I'm not going to
say...IM GONNA BUY A PS3 OR A WII!! I have them all and I just like the 360 better(even after all the bull)...BUT...THIS problem, I cannot forgive!! For heavens sake IT TESTED THE FORMATTING!!! IT SAID(basically)--->Go ahead tranfer all of your stuff...your
500+hours of Fallout NV, your son's games...your WIFE'S games... Honestly, it's taken quite a bit of self control to NOT destroy everything 360!! Worse still is that I'm a stockholder and have been for longer than some of you have been playing. Sorry, one
more rant, last time the HDD went, I lost the equivocal of a life's work for Fallout 3...At least, you're being consistant!!!

Ok, as far as I can tell the Flashdrive still has everything on it. Is there another way to access it? C'mon this MUST HAVE happened before???

Oh yeah, the announcement-->I'm having trouble with my USB Storage Device
is wonderful...MAYBE YOU SHOULD MAKE IT NECESSARY READING PRIOR TO FORMATTING, TRANSFERRING, ETC!! If I had known there MIGHT be the possibility of failure even after the Flashdrive is TESTED, I certainly would not have TRUSTED the transfer process. I would
have made backup copies...and backups of the backups. Yes, I have a seperate external HDD for BACKING UP MY BACKUPS of my computer. I'm sorry, but I continue to lose faith in anything 360. Honestly, I'm sure any ADMIN can access my service record and having
to send something out for service so often for so long...becomes frustrating. I have tools that are beat up on a regular basis and keep on working...

PS...I'm not even going to get into the UPDATE ISSUES or the MAJOR problem with games that the XBOX BURNED A RING(S) INTO!!! and are now $60 pot/pan scrapers...

 

e74 error warranty

it would help iof you use the correct example

no you are not covered for system crashes except for the 1 st year of purchase and if they find that it was an application that crashed windows you WILL be charged

all computers come with 1-3 year waranty depending on how much you spend

3 years on 1000dollar computers

1 year on anything less then 1000

if windows crashes in the 1st year your are covered for repair by the manufacturer

anything past that either you reinstall it yourself or use your backups or pay someone to do so however this is software

if your proccessor dies out of warranty 1 year btw

you would still have to cover the cost of the cpu



this is what extended warranties are for

 

Yes. You can have a copy on your internal and external; heck, if you have 2 externals, you can have 3 mirrored copies.

 

2-3 days to download, wow, how large was the download?

Halo 5 was 107GB and that took me approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes.
