This drive does not have enough space to store a system image.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1 and I'm having problems with Windows Backup. Windows keeps telling me my backup failed because I don't have enough space. My system drive C: is 128GB total, 90GB used. In Windows Backup I see this:
This drive does not have enough space to store a system image.
When I click 'More information' it says I need 1.51 TB of space for a system image.
I have 364GB free on the drive I am backing up to (call it drive D). 1.5TB is larger than entire drive D. This problem only occurred after one of my media drives recently failed (call it drive M) and I replaced it with a new drive. When I choose 'Change settings' I can see it is checked to 'Include a system image of drives System Reserved, Media (M:), (C:) BUT the media drive is not checked in the tree of files to backup (and it shouldn't be).
So I don't know how or why it happened but for some reason it wants to include my media drive now in the backup. The media drive should NOT be backed up. There is no way I can find to remove it from being included on the list of 'Include a system image of drives'. System restore is disabled for both drives D and M.
Any ideas? Thanks
