While doing a Complete PC Backup in Windows 7 I received dialog reading:

Windows Backup...error

The backup did not complete successfully.

Open the Backup and Restore Control Panel to view settings

From there I clicked the Options button.

Windows Backup: Troubleshooting Options

Check your backup

Windows Backup encountered invalid MediaID.bin file on the drive where the backup is saved. Restore from a different backup or delete the MediaID.bin file and try to create another backup. The MediaID.bin file can be found under \MediaID.Bin & \\MediaId.Bin.

I deleted the file in question (MediaID.bin) from X:\ (one of the drives being backedup( and tried the backup again.

Next I was presented with a dialog that read:

Windows Backups: Troubleshooting Options

Check your backup

The system connot find the file specified.

Try to run backup again

Change backup settings

Backup Time: 2/10/2010 12:17 PM Backup location: FreeAgent Drive (E:) Error code: 0x80070002

Additionally I checked the error log and I found this:

Viewed the following document: http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/archive/2008/03/12/common-causes-and-solutions-to-backup-system-restore-and-complete-pc-backup-problems-updated.aspx searched for 0x80070002 and tried and follow the directions...

I noticed that none of the profiles was missing a ProfileImagePath, I also noticed that the people commenting on the page said that they weren't missing it either.

I'm currently trying the backup again, but this time I unchecked all of the user's profiles and opted only to backup the two drives X: and C: on to E:\

I'll let you know what happens.

Any ideas?
