Error: Backup aborted. Reason:

List index out of bounds (-1)

I have received this message on two completely separate installations on two computers running XP at distinct work locations. I am trying to backup a flash drive with about 12 gb data onto the c: disk. The first installation was a "full" backup and successfully created the first backup, but afterwards it displayed this error. The second was a "mirror" backup and never successfully completed the initial backup.

I can't supply the entire log since file names have confidential information. Here are relevant parts. I substituted LNAME FNAME for an actual name in this log:

Hi,

What is with the strange file names?

Do you have the same problem if you use an administrator account?
