Anyone have a solution, besides reformatting my external backup drive to
make space again? My external USB backup drive is 500gb and now have 70gb
free on it. I acknowledge there is not enough free space to backup the 184mb
in use so far on my 500gb C drive. But the Complete PC backup is supposed to
delete the oldest backup image(s) to make room for the new backup if needed
right? At least that's what it says on the screen before it check for
available disk space on the backup drive. I searched Microsoft's Vista
support page for the error code but didn't find any matches to help me. Here
are my system specs if that will help:

Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, Intel Q6600 CPU, 2gb RAM, 500gb RAID-0 HD,
Nvidia 8800GTX 768mb GPU, 22" Widescreen LCD, Asus/ViXS Combo-210E TV Tuner,
Creative SoundBlaster X-FI Audio, Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse, Logitech
Premium Stereo Headset, external Lacie USB 500gb backup drive.
 
Try running backup as Administrator. Worked for me.
Just a suggestion.
