"Target disk is running out of free space "

Thread needs solution

I am using Acronis True Image Home 2010 in my laptop which runs in Windows 7 64 bit. I am getting an error " Target disk is running out of space" whenever i try to backup even though i have set the Free threshold space to be 200 MB in Tools and utilities -> Options. My base point backup size is 18.4 GB. First 3 backup was running normally and after that i started getting this error.
My C drive size (OS) : Total : 80 GB, Free : 50 GB
My target drive (non OS partition ) :Total :110 GB, Free : 109 GB.
If i ignore the error backup runs normally. Is this a problem with my computer or problem with software.
I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling of software but the error persists. Any one please tell me a suggestion.
I recently shrinked my C drive partition to 80 Gb from 124 GB using Acronis Disk director 11 and after which i get this error in backup software but other backup softwares runs normally. Should i make C drive largest again to run backup smoothly?

After having created 3 backups, your space on your target drive does not look correct. I suggest that you check BOTH your disk/all partitions for disk errors. This will correct any space issues if the space is not being reported correctly.

This is the space of drive without any backup. After the third backup my disk specification were
Target Drive : Used : 19.6 GB ; Free space : 90Gb.
