Hello,
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I am planning on upgrading to Windows 8.1 Pro soon via internet but I have to do a backup of my PC.
I tried running a backup on one of my empty HDDs (E: ) which has 297GB free of 298GB using windows recommended settings (user files/system image) but it said that the backup finished but that it couldn't backup my system image because there's no sufficient space in the disk.
The backup size was of about 67GB and it only backed up 15GB of data. I'm trying to backup as much as I can because I really don't want to leave anything behind considering Windows 8.1 could fail to install via the internet upgrade.
I tried doing the same in my other HDD which I have for storage (2TB HDD - 1.7TB Free) and the same happened, it couldn't finish the backup completely because there wasn't sufficient space in the disk for the system image.
I can't think of anything else but that the source disk (C: ) is the one without the sufficient space thus making the system image backup fail in the target disk... but this doesn't make any sense to me.
Disk C: is a SSD of 250GB with 99GB free, my OS is in C: .
How can I solve this? - Thanks in advance!
