Hi Guys  Thanks for your help! The program auto upgraded to version 1.7.1.0, and this enabled the backup to be completed successfully.  Josh
Hi Thanks for your assistance! I have the upgraded Dell Backup & Recovery Premium, every time  I try to do any form of backup, either to a external drive with 700GB free space, or my laptop with 100GB+ free space I get "Operation Cancelled ... destination location unavailable or not enough free space on the disk".  This is not a hardware/software issue with my system, I have performed multiple system back up with NERO and my WD software (external hard drive) with absolutely no issues.  It seems to be a DELL software issue. [IMAGE] Thanks for your help!
