A couple of questions:

- Was Outlook open at the time of the backup?
- What version of Windows are you using?
- What type of processor? (x64 or 32-bit)

The error message you got is a very low-level IO error which I suspect  
is happening because Windows (except for Vista, I believe) has a very  
tough time trying to backup open files.
