I'm fairly new to Mac, I have a Powerbook G4 and a .Mac account. I have two external HD, one at home and a 120G Lacie mobile drive for the road. I have successfully backed up my Home folder, iLife and Purchased Music and Video on the home external HD @home, and iLife and Music and Video on the Lacie but I am unable to backup the Home folder on the portable. The error that usually pops up reads: "The backup archive is in use and can't be ejected-try quitting applications and try again." Usually there is nothing else running when I try to do the backup and the error log doesn't really tell me anything.

I have the latest log saved and could post it here if it would help someone to help me to figure out why I can't backup my Powerbook Home folder.

Welcome to Mac-Forums, captmike.

I don't know which backup software you are using but I make weekly backups using SuperDuper and don't encounter that problem at all.

I backup to an external LaCie 500GB Extreme.
