Windows Vista Backup Aborting
Windows Vista Backup is aborting with an error that a shadow backup copy
cannot be made due to a lack of space. The error dialog is included here as an attachment. We have posed this question before, but continue to experience the problem despite some prior recommendations that have not resolved the issue. Please note the following: 1. We have used 'Disk Cleanup' to remove all but the most current restore points (shadow copies?). 2. The three logical drives being backed up range in size from 80GB to 100GB and all have free space of 40% or more. 3. We recently installed Norton Ghost, which was a bonus program with Norton 360, but have not used the program yet. 4. Vista Backup has been working for many months and there is no apparent reason why it shouldn't still be working. Given the information above, does anyone have some conclusive reason why Windows Vista Backup would abort with the aforementioned error message? |
