Err Msg: An Error Occurred While Writing The Backup Data...

ID: Q183810


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 98


SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to back up data using Microsoft Backup, you may receive the following error message:

An error occurred while writing the backup data. The end of the media was approached unexpectedly. (08-22-07-01-0000)


CAUSE

This issue can occur for either of the following reasons:

  • If you compress a floppy disk or removable media using DriveSpace, and then try to back up more data than the available free space on the compressed disk or media. When you do this, Backup does not prompt you to insert another blank disk or media as expected.


  • When you try to span multiple CDRW disks. The version of Backup included with Windows 98 does not support spanning multiple CDRW disks.



RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, use the appropriate method:

Do Not Use DriveSpace

Do not use DriveSpace if you want to back up your data on more than one blank disk or removable media.

Upgrade to the Full Version of the Seagate Backup Software

Upgrade to the full version of the Seagate backup software to obtain this functionality.
