Vista Complete PC Backup (0x80780048) Not Enough Space?

I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit and I'm trying to do another Complete PC
Backup to an external 500gb USB drive and I'm getting error (0x80780048) due
to not enough free space left on the backup drive. The screen before says,
if there is not enough free space it will start deleting prior backups
starting with the oldest. This does not seem to be the case as advertised! I
do scheduled regular data backups once a week and every month or more I also
do a manual Complete PC Backup. Is my only resort to reformat my external
500gb backup drive and start over with a fresh complete pc backup until the
drive fills up again? I thought this was a cool feature with Vista Ultimate
(which made me buy it over the Premium edition) but it does not
automatically delete the oldest backups to make room?

Sorry, I posted this accidentally into an adjacent group instead of file
management. Please ignore.

Steve,I have the first service pack installed, and I still ran into this problem today on my Vista Ultimate 64-bit version. It has been over a month since you posted. Have you found a solution to the problem?
