SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you use Microsoft Backup to back up files to removable media, you may
receive the following error message:
 
   An error occurred while writing the backup data. The end of the media
   was approached unexpectedly. (08-22-07-01-0000)
 
When this occurs, you cannot insert the next media.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This behavior can occur if you back up to a removable device that has been
compressed with DriveSpace, and Backup needs to span multiple media to
finish.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To prevent this behavior from occurring, do not compress your removable
media with DriveSpace if you need to create a backup that spans multiple
media.
