Hello

 

Where is the backup that is giving this error message located on your PC?

 

Having a problem in understanding what is happening?

 

It could be a problem with th HP Recovery partition which is only big enough to hold the HP system recovery image.

 

If you are saving data in that partition/drive it will  give an error message.

 

It is usually denoted as drive "D" but if your PC has more than one HDD/SSD it could have a different drive letter.

What you call your "backup" could actually be the "system recovery" partition, which is  less than 20 GB.

 

Do you have an external disk-drive that you are using for an automated backup?

If so, it's that disk-drive that is getting "full".

You might want to do some "clean-up", i.e., remove some older backups, to free-up some disk-space.
