SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to back up data using Microsoft Backup, you may receive the following error message:

An error occurred while writing the backup data. The end of the media was approached unexpectedly. (08-22-07-01-0000)


CAUSE

This issue can occur if you compress a floppy disk or removable media using DriveSpace, and then try to back up more data than the available free space on the compressed disk or media. When you do this, Backup does not prompt you to insert another blank disk or media as expected.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, do not use DriveSpace if you want to back up your data on more than one blank disk or removable media.
