    Vista backup problems please can you help?


    Please could someone help. I have a new loptop with Vista Home premium
    installed. (its a Rock Extreme
    My backup disc has been set as 'D', a partition of 'C', and the system
    keeps saying that I am running out of disc space and backups keep
    failing. So I transfered to CD for my backups but they won't finish. I
    keep getting error message 'Access Denied' (0X80070005). The DVD starts
    writing but doesn't finish. Please any suggestions??
    Joe

    First off, you should not be using that 'D' partition as your backup
    destination; it is only there for the purpose of system recovery.

    When I started out with my Vista Home Premium computer, I tried
    to use DVD's as my backup media; however, this was futile for me because it
    took too long and used many DVD's. I bought an external 160 GB USB drive
    for about $60 that I use solely for backups and that has made my computer
    backup management a breeze. You really need to have a separate hard drive
    as the destination for Automatic Backup in Vista.
