I used copy+ about 2 1/2 years ago to expand my Thompson HD box up to the existing 1TB. Worked like a dream
However I've been having glitches on HD playback for the last few days (SD playback seems ok...HD glitches every few seconds)
I've tried several planner rebuilds, unplugged for an hour or 2, more planner rebuilds, made sure there was no failed recordings.... Still glitches.
I rebuilt the power supply a couple of years ago with the SatCure kit and on inspection the capacitors all look as good as new.
So I thought I might try backing up the hard drive and then restoring to try and see if that fixed anything, and if not then I've got a backup before buying a new drive.
So I have been trying to backup to a XTV image file - saving to the PC.
Space on the PC is 2TB, the source file size is 851GB.
The Sky drive is connected to the PC by an external caddy. The sky drive is detected fine, all the recordings are shown.
I get "Insufficient disk space for image file. Omit some recordings or select a different drive" and the "Start Copy" button is greyed out.
I've also tried backing up to an XTV file on an external USB drive.
Neither the internal HD nor the external USB drive work - both have 2TB free. I get the same "Insufficient disk space ..." message.
Experimenting, I can select about 78GB of recordings, and it would happily copy that amount, but any more and I get the warning and greyed out copy button.
I've tried running as a user and as administrator.
The PC is a win7 64 system.
Any clues? I am right that I can backup to file - yes?
