disc space insufficient

Thread needs solution

I have 2011 true image home running on windows 7 64bit machine. Sometimes full partition backup runs almost to completion then gives message "canceled by user" when not true. Log says insufficient disc space. This is silly as the backup started and gave the time needed. That led me to believe there is enough space. This wastes so much time as I cant see a way to know in advance how much space is required. Surely acronis must calculate this to determine time needed so why not say so and give a warning. Am I missing something here. Can any one help please? Regards, Don.

Don,

Run chkdsk /r on both the disk to backup and the backup disk.

It is better to leave a lot of free space on the backup disk, especially if you have consolidation going on.

Also, remember that ATI first completes a new full backup before deleting any existing backup or chain.
