    Windows backup


    I have tried to backup using the windows 7 backup program. I am choosing a remote western digital bookshelf hard drive. It has 150 gigabyte of space with nothing on it. I have had no success and keep getting a message that my backup source doesn not have enough memory. Any ideas?
