If memory serves, backup and restore in vista requires the RPC process to be running, which doesn't run in safe mode.
Your best bet is to reinstall Vista, get it up and running in "normal" mode, then do your restore.

What is the best backup program for Windows Vista?
The file backup and restore features in Windows Vista make it easier for you to keep your data safe from user error, hardware failure, and other problems. The Windows Backup and Restore Center gives you one place to manage all backup and restore features. Depending on the version of Windows Vista you have, there are two approaches you can take to backing up files: Automatic Backup, which backs up just your files and data; or Complete PC Backup, which backs up everything on your PC, including the operating system and applications. ====== Automatic File Backup helps to keep your files safe and is available in almost all editions of Windows Vista (it is not included in Starter and has only basic functionality in Home Basic edition). Windows Complete PC Backup is available in the Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions, and performs a complete, image-based backup of the entire computer. Help protect your files and your work by backing them up. ====== Two particularly useful Automatic Backup features are the ability to do a scheduled backup and the ability to back up your files to a network location. (These features are available in all editions of Windows Vista except for Home Basic.) To help make protecting your files as convenient as possible, with Automatic Backup, you can back up your files to an external hard drive, secondary hard drive, writable CD or DVD, or to a network location. Best of all, Windows Vista will automatically make backups of your data on the schedule that you set, so you never have to worry about forgetting to back up your work. File Backup Scheduling Wizard lets you schedule when backups occur. Previously backed-up versions of files use only a bare minimum of disk space. If only a small part of a file changes (such as one slide in a presentation), only that portion gets tracked and saved. Of course, backup is only as useful as the process you use to recover your work, and Windows Vista makes this a cinch. A recovery wizard helps you select the files or folders you want to restore and prompts you for the backup storage medium you used. Then it restores your files. By the way, if you've accidentally written over a file, say saving an older version of a report you're writing over the top of a newer version, then the Shadow Copy feature can help you recover a prior version of that file. ====== Available in Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions, Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore is a comprehensive, image-based backup tool that will help you out of a tight spot if you need to recover your entire system. While file restore is useful in cases of file loss and data corruption, Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore is most useful for disaster recovery when your PC malfunctions. This feature helps you create complete PC backups, and then in the event of a serious system issue or data loss, Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore can restore your entire PC environment, including the operating system, installed programs, user settings, and data files. You can restore your PC back to its original state or onto another PC. Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore can be initiated from within Windows Vista or from the Windows Vista installation CD, if the PC is not able to start up normally from the hard disk.
What is the program file name of the windows backup utility?
I THINK.... That there is no .exe for it but just a lot of separate files making the utility up in this file locationVista: C:\Windows\winsxs\BackupCorrect me if I am wrong...Actually the correct answer to what is the program file name of the windows backup utility depends on what Windows OS, you are using. If it's Vista, then it's the Backup and Restore Center which handles all files that can be backed up. For Windows 2000/XP, then its a program file called Ntbackup.exe. From there you just click Start, then All Programs, then go to Accessories, then go to System Tools, and then click Backup. Hope this is the information you're looking for.JRay25
What software should you use to backup files?
Windows has a "Backup and Restore Center" found in the Control Panel. It is the easiest tool that costs nothing and is user friendly and effective. I recommend using an external media storage device or storing back-up files on flash media (solid state memory.)
Backup & Restore in Windows 7?
Many of us have our work and personal lives tied up in the data that we store on our computers. A complete loss of data due to system failure is unthinkable and unacceptable. Therefore, in order to prevent this kind of loss, many of us have turned to ghosting our hard drives (disk imaging) or file-based backup solutions. However, as the need for this protection became more prevalent among PC users, Microsoft began to integrate the features directly into the operating system. The first example of this is the restore functionality that has been included in the OS since Windows 98. Starting with Windows 7, the restore functionality is now a fully realized PC backup implementation that meets all but the most sophisticated needs. In order to set up backup in Windows 7, access Computer in the Windows menu. Then right click on whichever local drive you wish to set automatic backup for, and select Properties. On the Tools tab, click the “Back up now…’ button, and it will take you to Windows 7 Backup & Restore control center. You can perform a handful of different backup operations from this panel. “Create a system image’ allows you to ghost the drive just like Norton Ghost and other imaging software does. In simple terms, this creates a single-file snapshot of your drive. You can then use that snapshot at any time to restore the drive to the moment that you took the snapshot. Note that image files are as big as the drive you are imaging, so this is not always a feasible backup solution. Click on “Set up backup’, and you will find a backup system that is far more flexible. An image of a 100GB HDD is a waste if all you need preserved is 1GB worth of data. This is what the backup feature does automatically once set up. For best effect, you will want to have it back up to a secondary drive. Then, once you have made that first backup, you will be able to restore to that point at any time. A great aspect of this new system is that you can dictate the interval at which it automatically updates. However, the neatest feature is that you can delve into the internals, and set exactly which files and the types of files that Windows will add to your backup. Windows is very smart about knowing which files to backup, but this is a nice feature for the control nuts.
