breeze Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I did a full backup to DVDs a month ago and have scheduled incremental backups; but when I attempt to do the incremental backup, I get an error message: "error creating layout". I'd appreciate any help on resolving this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyt Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I get the same error message. At first it seemed to resolve when I used a new CD-RW, but later it came back. I do not have a solution, I wonder if the program could be corrupted or if my CD burner is bad. If yiu find an answer let me know. I'm also having this problem - I've contacted Roxio but so far no reply. Does anyone have an answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 It could be the drive - try using a lens cleaner and see what happens. Most reports on that error tho seem to be (according to google) XML errors and occasionally javascript - but neither of those should apply in this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bholt Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi, did you ever get an answer to this problem? I'm using an external hard drive and I get the same error. I too am experiencing the Error Creating Layout problem. I did some iterative testing and found that it is related to file size. There must be some maximum file size that EMC8-Backup can handle. I found that about 10 of my directories is about all it could handle so I just created multiple Backup Projects, each containing about 10 directories. If one got the ECL error, I just went back and dropped a couple of directories and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Please read very carefully post number 6 (the one before yours) In your case - make that a YEAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gi7omy Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 The OP hasn't been back since February so either they gave up or the solution worked. Without any ersponse over a few months, it's impossible to say. Your best bet is to start a new thread, state exactly what problem you're having and also post your system specs (similar to those in my signature). Jumping on an old dead thread isn't really a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
