[solved] - ATI splitting backups

Thread needs solution

ATI 2015 is splitting my backup to a USB 500GB hard disk into 132 individual 4GB files on one of my computers. The other computer successfully made a 350GB backup image.

Is there any way to force this to backup to a single file? I already tried setting Options/Advanced/Backup Splitting to custom at 1TB but it still splits the backup into 4GB files.

Thanks,

Tom

You external drive is most likely formatted as Fat32. The file size limit for Fat32 is 4GB. Reformat the drive to NTFS and you will be good to go.

Thanks, Thomas. That was it. I had two identical Seagate FreeAgent Go drives, and one worked correctly on my computer. Now that I think about it, the drive I was trying to use on my wife's computer (the one resulting in the split backup) I had made bootable as some point and Windows does show it as FAT32.
