It sounds like a memory problem (i.e. the location you are backing up to is running out of space) but that shouldn’t happen with an empty CF card. I remember someone had problems with the backup until they allowed the program to use the default name (default.dbk). Also, try doing a soft reset immediately before running the backup utility (and do not create an ActiveSync connection). If you want to keep an existing, earlier backup version, simply copy or move it to your PC before running the backup utility.

I'm not sure about the backup using the built-in memory. It's a possibility, though, since I've read that ActiveSync stores files that are being transferred to a memory card temporarily in the main memory. Doing the soft reset immediately before running the backup utility should give you as much free memory as possible.
