Well my C & D drive together is 74.2 gigs. I have 393Gig's that are free on my backup. so i shouldn't be out of room. Also it's not the backup drive itself I am able to store things on there and access it just fine.


I appreciate you trying to help.

So the drive was formatted in FAT 32. That has a file size limit of 4gigs.

I just have to reformat the drive in NTFS.
