I have previously had no problems backing up my C drive and occassionally restoring it using Nero 8 BackItUp. Last time I tried to back up the C drive using Nero I had a string of failures.
I then installed Acronis True Image Home 11 and was unable to back up with that either. I have been able to do back ups, using both programs, of my D drive with all my data, but back up of C drive fails.
I ran a Diskcheck with Windows and a large string of "replaced bad clusters" appeared. Is this the reason I am having problems? Does this mean my Hard Drive is about to fail?
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Also run :-

2. Type sfc /scannow /f (note:- space after sfc)
3. Windows file protection will check …

It might very well be that you're HD is going bad. Try running a backup on another drive. Thats if you have another HD to do the test
