Hi, I am gettting below error when i try for FARM backup. Actual backup size is around 15GB only but its asking for 183GB, y is it so? You must specify a folder for the backup files. There is not enough disk space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again. Approximate amount of space needed: 183.52 GB. Amount of space free on disk: 159.82 GB. Regards, Hari

There are some packing/unpacking jobs involved that work with temporary space on the system so additional space is normally required to facilitate the backup. I find it very strange that it is trying to take up that much though if there really is only 15GB of content.
