My first 2 attempts to backup my computer to an external hard drive have aborted. Here is the message.
"F:\Music Server BK\Backup Music Server 08-14-2009\1_C.zip".
Zip error: Cannot write file "F:\Music Server BK\Backup Music Server 08-14-2009\1_C.zip"
There is not enough space on the disk (While writing compressed file in zip)
Running Windows XP Pro
Fbackup 4.2 Build 153
Source computer less than 30GB
External Hard disk (F: drive) is 430 GB with NTFS files system. On the External drive I created a folder for the backup name Music Server BK
Any help would appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. The source data is about 40G and the target drive has 460GB available. Why do I keep getting the error:
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Howard 2006.pst" to "D:\Backup\1_C.zip".
Zip error: Not enough room to write archive (D:\Backup\1_C.zip). There is not enough space on the disk
Backup aborted at 9/2/2010 10:44:14 PM with 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
Exactly what do I do to fix it?
Thanks,
Howard

Hi,
How much free disk space do you have on C: drive?

Hi,
You cannot change the location of the Temp folder.
That feature is available only in our commercial product: Backup4all

I have a similar problem. Log file:

Drive seems to stop working. I disabled the power-off, same problem.
Drive works without a problem on another Win 7 machine.
This happens at the beginning of the backup. I have build 234.
What would cause the drive to go offline while writing?

Hi,
You should not backup "C:hiberfil.sys" file as it is a system file.
Please open Backup Properties->Sources and uncheck that file.
The problem is the same: you do not have enough free disk space to write the zip archive file. Please make some free space and try again.
