backup

My backups have been successful until last week. I am suddenly getting the
message telling me there is not enough space on the disk. The disk has 215gb
of free space. I am backing up to an external firewire hardrive. I can
successfully do a backup to the same disk as the database.
I do a differential backup on certain days and a full back up on others. I
append the transaction logs to the backup.
The database is only 18gb.
Any ideas why this is happening?log file size ?

backup was successful. It seems to fail on the full and differential.

then I append the transaction log to the backup.
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [Database] TO [ WK 4 SU Full] WITH
NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'backup_20060827211052', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD,
STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "Write on "WK 4 SU Full(I:\\Week 4\\WK 4
SU Full)" failed: 112(There is not enough space on the disk.)
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems
with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set
correctly, or connection not established correctly.
