I suspect you are using local system backup software. If that is right,
disconnect from the internet and any other network for the duration of
your backup and those errors should go away. If scandisk or disk defrag
or other disk cleanup software needs to be run, loosing all network
connections for the duration is a must as well.

Thanks to all for the backup info. I have one unrelated backup question:
My system runs periodic system backups, and almost invariably it stops
and
puts up a dialog saying it can't backup a file because another program
is
using it. I close everything out and try to resume but it fails again on
the
same file. Then I try skipping it and find there are dozens of files
that
cause the same error. I then abort the backup altogether.
The files it hangs on are all related to Norton, or at least they are in
a
symantech app data folder.
So does this mean I have to shut down Norton in order to do a regular
system
backup?
Any thoughts welcome.
TIA

Have a look at the Terrabyte Unlimited product line.
(http://www.terrabyteunlimited.com). Yes, you must image an entire
partition at once; but the restoration process can be *fully*
automated, full console operation allows for scripted (and of course
scheduled) backups, and their TBIView program allows copying of files
from the proprietary images in a Windows Explorer-style interface.
