Did you get this problem fixed ?? I'm having the same issue. My HD says I have 429G left. Seems weird to not be able to back up a 16G phone on 429G HD. I updated my computor the other day now I can't do a back up. I've looked at the above links but can't seem to find a solution.

Thanks ! I plugged it in and did a hard reboot, it proceeded with the back up and was completed !

Thanks again. Russ
