Hello,
For many years I backed up my Win 7 Pro (desktop) to a 1 TB peripheral hard drive without problems. Perhaps a year (or more) ago I began having difficulty with the files being "too large" to back up - although there should have been sufficient space. I switched to just backing up a system image & storing copies of large files on it. I recently had a major crash and had to do a clean reinstall, which I've now completed and figured that whatever was ailing the Windows backup program before, should now be resolved.
Last night I initiated a full backup of my C:drive (450 GB of data) to the 1 TB peripheral drive with only 93 GB on it (i.e.; 838 GB free). The program ran all night and by mid-morning the peripheral drive was filled and the backup couldn't be completed.
Comments, suggestions?
Thanks.
