Windows 7 Backup
I am unable to backup a 1gb system disk to a 1.5gb external drive with 1.3gb free.
get the following screens when I attempt to backup. I saw an older post concerning this with Vista. All help appreciated.

Can you post some screenshots? or specify the error correctly.
Take Care
Tiniest external drive I ever heard of.
Tiniest system disk I can recall.
I don't see any screens.
Check the shadow storage size for the target drive to receive the Backup.
Control Panel > System > System Protection > highlight your drive and click on the tile (Change settings or whatever it is). Observe what it is, and then slide the slider to max space.
I did as you suggested. I enabled system protection on the backup drive; shows 1.3gb of free space. I set for maximum for backup. After this, I got the same image pop up about insufficient space for shadow image......
I'm in over my head on this I know, but would like this backup to be possible.
Thanks for your previous input.
I noticed an error code on this screen shot.
error code suffix 0x0019 is "The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk."
OK Jim, what shall I do next? I'm completely lost here. Is it workable? Would reformatting the backup drive help?
