This looks like two separate problems in one thread: the repeated rundll32 error (the missing/removed winzyn32.rom that reported) and the Backup/Restore wizard insisting on the original discs. was on the right track — the error is usually a leftover autostart reference calling rundll32 after antivirus removed the file. A safer way to locate and remove that broken autostart entry is to use Autoruns (it shows registry autostarts, scheduled tasks, the Startup folder, services, drivers, etc.). Run Autoruns as Administrator, enable “Hide Microsoft entries,” search for the suspicious filename and disable the entry first; delete only after confirming it’s not a system item. See Autoruns: Sysinternals Autoruns.

If Autoruns does not find anything, check scheduled tasks and the Startup folder manually, then run a thorough malware scan with an up-to-date scanner (for example, Malwarebytes) to ensure no remaining components are present. Always create a system restore point before removing entries.

For the Backup/Restore issue: Windows keeps a backup catalog and will try to continue the existing chain if it thinks that’s required. To start a fresh backup set you can use the Control Panel wizard to “Set up backup”; if that still insists on the missing media, remove the old catalog from an elevated command prompt with the built-in tool. The command is wbadmin delete catalog -quiet (this deletes backup history — use with caution). Microsoft docs: wbadmin delete catalog.

Final notes: avoid hand-editing the registry unless comfortable (export keys first), keep at least two independent backups, and consider an image-based tool (Macrium Reflect, etc.) for clearer full-image restores.

search internet for it and it shows as malware, the error is because your anti virus ahs already removed it, but the start up entry is still there. Use registry editor and look here;

All Windows versions;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

64 bit Windows check here too;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

remove any entries you find for this file, and it should stop annoying you.

sounds like you are creating a differential / incremental backup.
try creating a full backup
(assuming your backup software has such options - and they may be called something else but mean the same thing.)

google same for further details
