Partition space indicator is red -- why?

[juanantoniod]

Hello,

As you can see from the attached image, the partition that I save my Macrium images to has a red bar for the capacity space indicator. I am assuming this means it is close to full. Is this the correct assumption?

Also, can I extend this partition? I made it with Windows 7, but I forgot how. Can someone refresh my memory how I can do it?

Thanks, you guys! I appreciate all of your input!

You could remove some of your older backups and that will get you more space.
30 gig is very small for backups Try to extend the partition as stated above and if you can't get a bigger or another drive

Thanks to everyone!

To everyone who replied with helpful information, I will be giving out as much "rep" as I can, with greatest thanks. I especially appreciate the link to the tutorial, and the information about sizing my backup partition.

Because the first backup image I made was only about 7GB, I thought that a little more than 3 times that would be plenty. However, that was made when my system had barely any programs on it, and now I have many more installed. Also, I have to off-load my big files before doing the image, which I don't mind because it makes me do "housekeeping". However, next time I set up Windows for the first time (hopefully not soon), I will definitely be making a partition for data, and a partition for OS & apps. Then, I will image the system, and backup the data separately... I digress...

Thanks a lot, you guys!!!
