Error occurred while creating file

Thread needs solution

I keep getting an error message while trying to create my back-up. "Error occurred while creating file" I am trying to back-up about 74gb of data and put it on an external drive with 512gb of room?

Is there more text to the error message?

How is the external drive connected?

Run chkdsk /r on that drive.
Also run a drive checking utility from the drive manufacturer, as those sometimes catch errors missed by chkdsk.

Don't connect via a hub, a port in a monitor, a USB extension cord, etc. Connect the external drive directly to a USB port on the rear of the computer case.
