Not Enough Disk Space to Restore Backed Up Files
Article ID: 135203

SYMPTOMS
When you are restoring files with Backup, you may receive the following
error message:
There is not enough disk space to continue this operation.
Delete one or more files on the disk, and then try again.
The files that are restored before you receive the error message are
intact.
CAUSE
The backup contains more files than will fit on the hard disk. This
situation may occur if you back up a compressed drive and then restore the
files to an uncompressed drive.
RESOLUTION
Since you cannot restore and compress files simultaneously, restore and
then compress the files in an alternating series of partial operations.
