Backup failure - "Cannot access drive."

Hello,

We are running Acronis True Image Server version 9.1 (Build 3832) on our server. An overnight scheduled backup of our machine failed last night. Here is the error message that I was presented with this morning as I came in:

"Cannot access drive.
Cannot create the image of the logical drive C: because it is currently in use by running applications or the logical drive contains bad sectors.: None: User replied: oK"

I'm running a diagnostic on the hard drive as I type this then I'll do a chkdsk.

Any advice as to what could be the issue or what else I could try to troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks.
