Hi again,
Having major problems backing up my computer.
Don't have external hardrive or access to another computer.
So was gonna backup to DVD.
I can only use Cobian to backup.
I have never done a back-up before apart from using the System Restor function in Vista. So I thought that I could just shove in a DVD and select Drive E: in Cobian.
After that didn't work I searched the internet a bit and realised that I had to back-up to somewhere on the computer first and use the 'Split Options' button to select DVD size and then save the back-up to the computer and then burn.
I tried to save it to the D partition by creating a new folder in the D-Drive.
Again when I tried to do the back-up it came with this message:
03/09/2009 23:19:21 Creating or updating the archive "D:\Fiona-Backup1\C 2009-09-03 23;19;21.zip"

ERR 03/09/2009 23:19:44 The backup contains 1 error(s)
My D-Drive is full of system restores 3.73 GB free of 9.99GB...does this mean there is no room?
My C-Drive has 97.7GB free of 220GB, should I just save it to the C-drive instead? But after it is on the DVD, how do I get rid of the backup? Just delete and then clean the Recycle bin?
Really lost with this, sorry.
Fiona.
