After Windows 10 version 1809 update Build 17763.1, my Backup and Recovery now shows error 0x80070013 and will not backup as before

It's not a fix, only for some.

I specifically opened OneDrive, signed in, disabled "Files on demand", tried backup again and still the same bloody error.

In my case after the 1809 update the same error  0x80070013 No disk problems why suggest this ??

Or does this error message can mean a disk error  or a write acces problem as wel instead of pointing to the right cause: a simple OneDrive chek mark?

Strange! 3 complete different things  causes?

Solved in my case with the OneDrive solution Thanks for the strange cause and the time i spend on this to find this page ;-)

What is the real cause of above error message?

1 Disk problem? in my case No

2 Acces rights problem? in my case No

3 OneDrive a chek mark in my case Yes!

4 What to do with the chek mark in OneDrive settings ? What happens if i chek it back ON

   or when it wil be set to default ON with the next Windows 10 Update ? Will my back-ups then fail again?

It woud be nice to get a clear anser from above from MS? 

Thanks!

Best regards,

It's not a fix, only for some.

I specifically opened OneDrive, signed in, disabled "Files on demand", tried backup again and still the same bloody error.

To summarise my lucky successful workaround:

01: I am home user, no network except laptops internet over pass-thru cat 6 cabled powerlines.

02: Onedrive was and is disabled in Startup. (Its presence always irritated me as I never intended        to use it) though OneDrive is registered to my Office2016 account.

03: So Onedrive was never running when the problem originally occurred.

04: In my unknowledgeable quest for the option "Files on demand", viz.

   OneDrive > Account > Choose Folders > I additionally untick'd everything here.

05: I eventually found the option "Files on demand" which I also unticked.

06: Your continuing problem made me nervous, so I retested to both USB3 Portables today.

07: Both worked, the 2nd after a W7 Backup change settings. 

    "Files on demand" remains unticked.

08: I just turned "Files on demand" back on again, retested on the 2nd portable and it worked.09: I loaded OneDrive App - says "OneDrive is up to date and all files are in sync."

10: I left Onedrive running with "Files on demand" ticked;

      Retested on the 2nd portable again and it worked! So I give up.

I am sorry this didn't work for you.

If I can help by confirming any other settings, variables or whatever, just ask.

I am retired so time not an issue for me.

Best regards..

Thank you very much RoddyS,

That's what finally did the trick!

I've unticked the folders , closed OneDrive, and now the backup finally works!

I guess it's crucial to also untick the folders for the fix to work.

I can declare it now as a working fix :)

I have two computers, one with Windows Pro and One with Windows Home.  After updating to Windows 10 version 1809, backup with "Backup and Restore (windows 7)  was unsuccessful with Error Code 0x80070013, Media is write protected.

I was able to get a successful back up by changing the backup setting for "What do you want to back up" from "Let Windows Choose (recommended)" to "Let Me Choose"  and then selecting the appropriate folders to backup.

I'm glad that worked for you & others. I didn't have to do any of that. Backup & Restore (Win 7) worked for me in 1809 twice - & I've got Files on Demand turned on & all the "choose folders" checked. I rename them for ID purposes (they have to be renamed back for use)...

So I thought maybe you coincidentally had made the backup into a new folder the first time it worked for you. I thought making it into the same folder that held a 1803 backup would confuse the app. So I copied my 1803 (17134.320) backup, renamed the copy to "WindowsImageBackup", & made a 1809 backup into that folder. I was surprised to see it worked. I guess there was indeed something about your OneDrive that required you to do all that.

I opened the previous version of that backup in the Properties of C:, & all my OneDrive folders & files appear to be there. That's surprising because they are supposed to be On-Demand. And I know they aren't being currently read in, because I deleted "New Text Document.txt" from the current OneDrive - yet there it is in the backup. It can be clicked & opened. There's just one word in it.

Edit 11/14/18: OK, they were On-Demand, but I hadn't right-clicked the folders & selected "free up space" which is what makes them online only. After that & making a new image, accessing a "previous version" does this...
