- Some of the files or folders specified in the original backup no
longer exist.
- You do not have the necessary network access rights.
- No changes have been made to the original files before running an
incremental backup.
NOTE: If any of the above conditions are true when you attempt to perform
an incremental backup, you receive the following error message:
Microsoft Backup could not find any files for this operation. Either
the specified files or directory no longer exist, you do not have the
necessary network access rights, or none of the selected files need
to be backed up. This operation has been canceled.

text editor (such as Notepad).
