Database won't backup?

I have 5 databases that I backup nightly, but one of them won't allow me to
backup to the .DEV file on the server. I just tried to backup manually and
got the following error. I search on the KB and Google, but didn't find much
.
I even recreated the .DEV file without luck. Any ideas?

0050:Hello,
Check if you have enough hard disk space in E Drive. I feel that this is
because you do not have enough room to backup the database into the hard
disk.
One more suggestion is you are using NOINIT, this will append the backups
files and cause the file to grow very high resulting in using the
hard disk space. So instead you NOINIT you can use WITH INIT. This will
reinitialize the backup file.
Thanks
Hari

also try "dbcc checkalloc" on the database.
