check your old disk for disk errors
From the command prompt,
chkdsk c: /r
Also check the location of your backup (search *.tib) and make sure the backup file is not being stored on your system drive.
Perform another backup. What type errors are indicated in the TrueImage log file?

What size is the image if you don't don't check the Sector-by-Sector option?
