If you have already "backed up" more than 8 GIG do you need to do it

I honestly have no clue what has backed up. Looking on the backup drive now, despite giving the IO error I asked about it does seem to have backed up /something/ into an image file. Having said that, the partition being backed up doesn't have 8.8Gb used - at least I don't think so - which adds to my confusion.
