d: drive

[Jerry]

I am using Vista and Mozilla on a dell 530s. I have it set to automatically
back up once a week. All of a sudden it tells me that the backup on drive
d: has failed. I have tried everything, including formatting the d drive,
changing the settings back and forth and nothing seems to work.

Apparently the c: drive does backup as it should but what can I do to mke
the d drive work as it has been for so long?

Thanks for any comments or suggestions

Where is it backing up to? Is there enough space there?

On a Dell sys D is usually the dvd/cd drive

First, this is an XP gtroup.

Second, what is the D drive? If it's a partition on the same physical disk
as C, you should *not* be backing up this way. Never back up to the same
physical disk, when the disk fails, as they do, the backups will be just as
unavailable as the source.
