Re: Backup question

What about with space on source drive? %temp% should have enough space
to store temporary backup file I guess.

I tried to run MS backup to an external hard drive today. Available space
on
the drive is 88 gig. The backup process stopped, telling me that there
was
not enough space on the drive or the backup file is too big for the drive
(sounds like a redundant error to me). Anyway, it wouldn't complete for
that
reason. The file is not too big. Anyone know what causes this error?



You need to tell us a little more, e.g.
- What backup program do you use? ntbackup.exe?
- What is your command line?
- What file system does your external disk use?

Thanks for responding

Used the Start|Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Backup wizard. (No command
line)
External disk is NTFS.
OS is Server 2003
