When I try to back up my files using MS Backup utility, I get the message
that there is not enough room. I am backing up to an external hard drive
with 72 Gig. of room. I have used 4 gig. on the external harddrive. Why do
I get this message, and how can I "Back up everything on this computer"? I
have tried on 2 of my computers, my desktop & laptop, and get the same
message on both. There is only one partition on the external hd.
Thanks
