Failed to write data to the archive file. A possible reason might be poor media

I just bought a new PC running Vista SP1 Premium with True Image Home version 11.0 (build 8,053)... most times I get this error when doing a full backup... Here is a copy of the error log... BTW I am running ZoneAlarm ...Any help is greatly appreciated.
