| Vista Business 32 bit | Insufficient space to perform backup Hi Sorry if this post is in the wrong place ! Whilst trying to do a full system backup to a 500gb external hard drive, Vista returns the message - insufficient space to perform backup. There is in excess of 400 gb available on the external drive and only 38gb needed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. John |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Insufficient space to perform backup Is your backup program writing temporary files for the backup to your C: drive ? Some do that. You might check and see how much free space is on your C: drive. |
