Backup failure

P

Panic

For some reason my Windows 7 64 bit system backup and restore no longer will
backup. I back up to an external USB hard drive and there is almost 400 GB
space available. Before backup is activated it indicates it needs about 325
GB. It ends up with the statement that backup did not complete
successfully. Details shows system cannot find specified file.

Any ideas? I can't determine what file is in error.

Do you get an error such as the one below?
See the link below and check your Libraries. Are there any you do not
need? Do not remember creating? This also happened to me and I had a
library Quick Text that I did not need nor created and it caused the same
issue. Note: The exact error number may not be the same, so don't let that
alone sway you.

I get that error when the drive is full. I have to make room by
deleting the oldest backups. Then it works.
