>> "CAN'T CREATED BACKUP FILE"
The only time I've seen this message is when the hard disk was full. Could you
be creating a large swap file when rendering? Can you save from any other
module of the program?

Don't worry about it, you should try to read messages from a certain unnamed
Brazilian/German programmer that hangs around here! <g,d,& r!>

Ramon,
The message you are receiving probably means you are running out of space on
your hard drive. Try running CHKDSK/f and not saving the resulting files when
it asks if you want to. Also, look through all your files and delete ones you
don't need anymore to free up more space.

Ramon,
Sorry about my English because i'm DUTCH, but i had the same problem
and my disk was not full at all 2.2 GB free. Finally i found out that it was
my disk which caused the problems. For you i hope it's no that bad.
But be carefull because i lost a lot of data and rendering time and all the
checking software PCTOOLS etc.. didn't tell me anything.
Bye

DOS can be weird. If your disk is not full but you have been doing a lot of
rendering your directory may be full. You are limited to 511 files in the root
directory of any DOS drive. Soooo, if you have lots of files in one root your
drive can appear to be full when it's not.

Also, lost clusters can accumulate on a disk. These take up space and can
build to consume multimegabytes of space without actually being assigned to a
file. Especially if your system has been crashing lately. Use the DOS command
"chkdsk /f" to delete these lost clusters.
