Hi all,

I have a NX-60 and I just noticed something weird: my memory stick has 10 MB free and I was trying to backup my ram (about 7.5 MB used) using MSBackup
and it said "not enough memory". I have only 1 backup set on the MS. When I removed the current backup set, MSBackup worked fine and the size shown as 7.5 MB on the MS and MS shown 10 MB free. If I run it again and I got "not enough memory on MS" error.

Is this just me? Thanks for any comments.

The program needs enough space to fit both of them at the same time (You'd need about 15MB). This is a safeguard which ensures that you don't lose both backup sets should something go wrong.

I know. As I said, after I backup the 1st set, I had 10 MB free on the MS and 4 free slots. I tried to backup again to the 2nd slot and it wouldn't do it.

Whoops, you're right. Coincidentally, I ran into the same problem today -- it's probably another safeguard. I cleared out one old backup set, and it worked flawlessly thereafter.
