Disk Space

[dthirlwall]

My backup to USB drive is failing with disk space error. The USB drive (E:) has plenty of space but why does the b/u look like it's writing to C: ? B/U destination is set to E:\

Hi,

FBackup is using the temp folder from the C: drive to create the zip file.

So is it possible that I can change the default Temp Directory.

My reason why, My data is on Drive D. Drive D holds 200GB of Data. My C drive only has 100GB max, with 70GB remaining. Therefore I can not backup my data because my data exceeds my C drive. I am figuring, if I install another scratch drive and point the temp folder to that. Then my backup will be able to work.

Hi,

You cannot change the Temp folder location in FBackup. That feature is available only in our commercial edition: Backup4all.
