Windows 7 backup - disk space

$

Hi,

My C: drive has 355GB used out of 931GB and my D: drive (a physically separate drive) has 465GB free out of 465GB. When I try to do a backup from C: > D: using Windows 7 backup it spends hours doing it and then fails telling me there is insufficient disk space. FYI - I am setting my own backup (i.e. choosing what to backup myself), excluding some libraries, and including a system image.

For a start I'd expect Win 7 to identify that there isn't enough space prior to attempting a backup although I can't understand why it is failing anyway when there appears to be ample space. Why is this not working?

Thanks
Phil
