I know this is a bit of a necro but since it went unanswered. You can figure out where the Dell Backup and Recovery software stored your files by default by opening the software and beginning to run another backup. (Note: when you run the software again you may not see the option to run another backup from the home screen. In that case click the almost invisible drop-down menu in the title bar (blue arrow) and then select 'Backup' (red arrow) from the menu.) [IMAGE] On the 'Data Backup' screen select the 'Local' box.  The 'Data Backup Creation' screen will show you a box titled 'Browse...' below the heading 'Where'. At the bottom of this box you should see the path where Dell Backup and Recovery saved your backup.  For me the default location was 'C:\users\CURRENT_USER\Documents'. (where CURRENT_USER is your username). If you navigate to that location in Windows Explorer you should see a folder named 'Profile1'. This is where my Dell backup files were stored by default. If for some reason you do not see a folder named 'Profile1' I open folders in the default location and look for files with the .inp file extension. Those are your backup files. BTW for anyone who read the FAQ  that DELL-Jesse L linked to you should note that is NOT the FAQ for Dell Backup and Recovery that is currently in use. It is the FAQ for their old software Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 which they no longer use. If you read that FAQ you might have noted the question and answer below: System Backups can be moved to another storage location if you desire. Simply open Dell DataSafe and edit the backup profile for your System Backups. When you select the location, select the new location where you would like all System Backups to be created. The application will automatically move all your System Backups to this new location. I just tested this in the current version of Dell Backup and Restore (version 1.8.1.70) and it did NOT move my old backup files to the new location, it created a new copy of the backup so you would have to delete the old copies manually. I hope this helps someone.
I am trying to locate where an initial data file backup using Dell Backup and Recovery on my new (Jan 2015) Windows 7 Laptop, stored the backup files.  I failed to provide the settings to use an External Hard Drive for the backup.  I want to clean up the backup files it made so that I can start fresh using an external hard drive as the storage location.  I have looked everywhere, both on my Laptop and searching Google to find the location.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
