When using NT Backup to backup to a file is there a limit to the backup file
it creates? I am trying to use it to backup a server but it keeps erroring
with end of media encountered while backing up to non-removeable media and
the file size on the external USB hard drive is 4GB.
 
Re: NT Backup

Hello Eric,

Is the disk formatted with FAT 32? Then the maximal file size is 4 GB, convert
to NTFS and you can create larger files.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the disk is formatted FAT32. I will convert it
to NTFS. Thanks again.
