Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit backup failed (0x80780119)

Question

first I try to install windows 7 ultimate RTM 64 bit on Hitachi 80G sata hard drive, after fresh install I create a system Image to DVD it backup ok no problem at all.
I received seagate 320G HD replace, I restore the Image from DVD to 320G hard drive, after I install photoshop and some thing I need. now I try to make a system image to external hard drive or dvd I got the same error 
" Threre is not enough disk space to create the volum shadow copy on storage location. Make sure that for all volume to be backup up, the minimum disk space required for shadow copy creation is available. this applies to both the backup storage destination and volume included in the backup. Minimum requirement for Volumes less than 500 megabytes, the minimum is 50 megabyte of free space. for voulimes more than 500 megabytes, the minimum is 320 megabytes of free space. Recommended at least 1 gigabytes free of disk space on each volumes if volumes size is more than 1 gigabytes (0x80780119)"
I unplug all device just use only seagate 320GB and My external hard drive has 400G space.
some one help please.

Answer 1

According to the error message, it indicated that there is not enough disk space to do a system image backup on the computer. Firstly, Windows 7 has a 100MB system partition that Windows setup during the installation that was under capacity, but not every computer has the 100M on their computer. Now, I suggest you check the disk usage in disk management carefully and make sure all the partitions have enough space to do system backup image:
Click Start->Right Click on Computer->Choose Manage->Expand Storage->Click on Disk Management
You can see the clearly of the usage of the whole hard drive. Please check it carefully and make sure all partitions have enough space.
Notice: if you have some hidden partition on the computer, please also make sure the hidden partition has the enough rest space to do the system image on the computer.
If you only have one partition to save the system files on the computer, maybe there will be a problem of backup system image. At this time, we can shrink a partition in disk management, and then do a system backup again to test this issue.
Also, this error may be caused by the system image backup configuration on the computer or some related components or services or registry incorrect on the computer, you can follow the below steps to check it firstly:
1. Run “vssadmin list writers” to check if there is any error.
2. Register related dll files (we can ignore error messages if there is any)
cd /d %windir%\system32
Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
3. Stop related services
a) Volume Shadow Copy Service.
b) Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider.
c) COM+ event system
d) COM+ System Application
4. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216}\Subscript, delete the "Subscriptions" key and leave the EventClasses key
5. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VolSnap add MinDiffAreaFileSize (DWORD) and set the value to 3000
6. Restart above services
7. Restart to check the issue
And then, you can follow the below detail instructions to set the configuration and do a system image backup again:
How to Create a System Image Backup in Windows 7
In addition, you can try to back up the whole system image on the local disk to test this issue, please don’t backup the system image on the external hard drive or DVD directly. If you can back up the whole system image on the local disk, we can copy the system image to your external hard disk or DVD.
Also, you can use a different imaging app to do a system image. Such as Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download
