Thread needs solution

Yes, if the "backup splitting" is set to auto, and the tib files are split to 4G, then the storage target is either FAT32 or, your target is a network with some transmission controls.

I am understanding your question to be
"Why was my full backup files(tib) split into V1. & V2 segments?"
My quick response is that would be normal if your target storage disk has been partitioned as a FAT32 files syistem.
The target storage disk must be formatted as NTFS to qualify for the backup file to be created as one large file.

3. Task Backup option--Backup splitting:
If the "backup splitting" option is set to "auto" and the storage target is formatted as NTFS, the resulting backup will be one large file.
However, if the split option is set to "auto" and the tib backup are still split into 4G increments, then the target storage disk is either FAT32,
or you have other issues such as network transmission , etc.

You can get the answers from your own spstem about whether the backup should have been split.

1. Simulate editing the specific backup task which created the split files. Is the split setting set to auto or to split.

2. Look at the properties of the storage disk containing the split files.
YOu can look at the storge disk in Windows Disk Management, or in a Window directory tree of your compute as in this linkr.

Either option will indicate whether Fat32 or NTFS as the file system.
If the target storage disk is a flash drive, the default format file type for most is FAT32 and splitting will occur if backup file over 4G.
