Hi everyone. I have the following message that has appeared when trying to back-up. Previous back-ups have been ok, so not sure of the issue as I've tried to back up to USB and hard drive with no luck. I have just added more disk space and as mentioned, I have backed up and overwritten existing files in the past. Thanks in advance..

Backup failed for Server 'WINFIELD\PTPACCOUNTS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=10.50.1600.1+((KJ_RTM).100402-1540+)&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Backup+Server&LinkId=20476

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Database 'PTPACCTS' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Show us the output of sp_spaceused for that database as well as xp_fixeddrives. In addition, check the SQL Server Error Log for more details.
