"someove from Microsoft" neither lives here nor has the job to check
here.

This is a group where regular folks help other regular folks.

see contact addresses for Laura B and Mike Abrams. It seems they may indeed
be from Microsoft. Anyway it seems that with all the good will in the world,
the problem is still unresolved...bun

With all the good will in the world, a whole lot of problems are still
unresolved. Not only with computers.

That's life.

Hi Christine. I notice that these posts were some time ago, and I am
still getting this error with SP1. If you run the File Backup enough
times it will eventually complete, but randomly errors out with the
message below. Did anything ever turn up about this?

"The last file backup did not complete succesfully. Details: "There is
not enough space on your Windows disk to prepare for backing up your
files. At least 400MB of free space is required to continue.
(0x81000014)"

Christine help, I am having this file back-up error as well, 6/20/08 was my
last successful file back-up (auto back-up is set to weekly). I am running
Vista Ultimate 32bit and my windows route drive is 362 gigs with 270 gigs
free space and I am saving the back-ups to a 500 gig drive with a 385 gig
partition set as my j: drive with 220 gigs freespace, all drives are
formatted to NTFS. 400MB I've got that to spare? Like others, I also have
deleted my previous file back-ups and my previous complete system retore
back-up in an effort to free-up enough drive space with no sucess. My machine
did however perform the complete system back-up on 7/19/08. What gives??????
Virus, sp1 bug, screensaver settings, sleep mode interference, can it have a
cold???????

An issue has an associated "set" of circumstances - explain.
