Thanks. &nbsp;I deleted the scheduled backup and readded it. &nbsp;When I went to readd it, it said it would use 116 GB. &nbsp;I only had 100. &nbsp;I think that is why it was failing, the actual backup was larger than the drive.

I am doing a daily VSS Full Backup to a volume every day. &nbsp;There are currently 9 backups on the volume and the disk is full. &nbsp;From what I read Windows is supposed to automatically delete backups once the drive is full. &nbsp;This obviously isn't happening. &nbsp;Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? &nbsp;Thanks!
