TI WD Edition Single backup says no room??

Thread needs solution

HP y5414s Windows 7. My passport 500Gb backup ATI home 2013 WD Edition

I am using 'Single" backup. It is supposed to delete what the Ext HDD has and backup everything again. It backed up fine the first time, but, this last one was skipped due to timeout. Issue: not enough space left. I have the same or less amount of data to backup.

Did I misread what the Single backup is supposed to do, or, is there some other problem?

Kerry,
TrueImage does the reverse of what you believe.

The program attempts to create the new backukp first and will only delete the old after a successful backup creation as a replacement.

So you must plan space requirements for one more full than just the actual backups. Perhaps you can use the "exclusion" option to cause the backup not to be so big--hopefully you have files backed via other means.

Mayge get a larger disk for backups.:)

Thank you for making that clear. Would that the description was that clear. Now to find yet another free software. Maybe just an alarm to remind me weekly to do it manually.
