I am running

backup database mydb to disk ='C:\sqlbackups\daily\mydb.bak' with init

the file doesn't exist but I want it to create a backup (and then each time I run overwrite the backup)

I am getting an error

Msg 3271, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
A nonrecoverable I/O error occurred on file "C:\sqlbackups\daily\mydb.bak:" 112(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

1)Have you run DBCC CHECKDB?
2) Have you checked disk space?
3)Check SQL Server Logs
4) Check Windows Logs
5) Have you tried to back it up to another drive?

yes the issue was there wasn't enough disk space

(there was enough for the backup but apparantly it needed more to run)
I wish I could figure out why my database is 8 gb - it's big but not that big

Check the size of the log file. It may have larger size
