archive splitting

Thread needs solution

Hello Support,
i have setup echo build 8115 on 2003 64bit server. in this version unlike newer version (10), i can setup a full and a differential (or incremental) in rotation and have tib's overwritten without being worry about deleting old tib. but in my case, full backup creates about 50 tib's out of 30GB data and i can't setup differential base on this. i checked setting under "backup creation option --> archive splitting" and it is set to automatic like many other servers. why only this server has this issue not others and how i can fix this?
many thanks in advanced

Hello Masood,

Thank you very much for your post. I will do my best to assist you.

Most likely this is caused by the file system to which you are saving your backups. If it is FAT32, it will split the files into 4 GB pieces approximately. Please check this article for additional information.

If you have additional questions, please let me know.

Thank you.
