So pretty much,
All of my families' pictures ever taken since the 90s and all of our documents ever are on this PC, and I'm questioning the integrity of the data hard drive in it. I tried to setup a backup with a system image and the entire data drive, but all I'm getting is this message and it's very frustrating. It would be almost devastating if we lost these files to a stupid error.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Nick, Why not try another product? both Macrium free HERE and Aomei free HERE are very reliable backup/image software offerings.:)

Eh, I'm very hesitant to trying a different program. I've been using windows backup since 2000 and it's always been reliable. Macrium and Aomi sound kind of cheap, especially since they're free...

Both Macrium and Aomei can also clone your hard drive making installing a new drive if you have to very easy. Yes they are free but they are not cheap (and nasty) software, rather well matured products. Just a suggestion...........

Have you googled your error?
HERE and HERE are 2 hits for it...

Why do y'all want me to switch to another program so bad? What's wrong with Windows backup? I asked a question on how to fix something, not spend money and replace something.

No one posted that you had to switch you were give options of other avenues.

In post #4 you were also give two links to reference to for the error you were receiving.

It's your call, but Windows backup is quite limited in its features compared to the backup apps suggested, which are both FREE, and NOT CHEAP AND NASTY.

The backup was successful!

Got a system image of the boot and system reserved drive, as well as a backup of our entire data drive. The only thing I want to make sure of now is that when the next backup happens, it'll be able to overwrite the previous backup, because the last time Windows Backup was working, it wouldn't overwrite and my external backup drive would be full.
