Gooday folks. I have a Samsung Story 2 tb external hard drive and I want to back up my win 7 installation on it. I have tried several times and as the print screen shows there are errors and a retry gets the same results. Could someone help me with this?
Sorry, here is the print screen.

It no doubt did work, but my older office with a compatibility pack would not open it  Have you looked to see what the VSS and SPP application event logs show for details? A Guy | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1

jamtin53,
I prefer to insert an image into a post whenever possible.
Inserting a link to a "docx" file means anyone trying to open it has to have a program able to open that file...
If someone can't open the file, they can't help...  | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Look in Disk Mgmt to see how much free space is on the 100mb System Reserved partition, if you have it. | | My System Specs | | |

Thank you all again. Did some posts get removed? I am unsure where to check about the vss and ssp event logs. I just looked in event viewer and couldn't see them. Also, how do I check to see if shadow copy service is started?
I have attached the image from paint but I think that is probably superfluous now. Gregrocker, thank you also. I haven't found that out yet, I am looking for it now. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sont Vaio VPCEH13FD

Start> In search box type services.msc> Enter> Scroll down to Volume Shadow Copy (see my screen shot above)
Is the service set to automatic?
Greg is onto something, I believe there must be 50mb of free space.
