backup

[Guest]

I am using windows xp and have also connected an external hard drive (iomega HDD 80GB) via USB 2.0. Ihave partitioned the external drive into 2, 30 GB for system save and the rest for all my data. When I run backup of my entire computer using the backup facility, the computer runs the program almost to completion and then stops, giving a message that the backup destination file is either full or too big (the source is only 10 GB and the drive is only 67% full). The job never gets completed, please help.

Well, if I'm not mistaking with simple math, 67% on a 30GB hard drive is
just a touch over 20GB which leaves less that 10GB for the backup. You
shouldn't run the hard drive too close to the max anyhow.
