number of tib files
By the acronis 2017 back up,i have a lot of partial tib backup files but only one tib
by the acronis 2019. Sum of partial tib volumes is equal with the volume of one file tib.
(Backup by bootable ISO disk)
Is this OK

I am not sure that I understand your question here or what you mean by partial tib backup files?
If you can post some screen images of the files as listed by Windows Explorer, it may be clearer to understand.
It would also help to know what type of backup you are making here, i.e. is this an incremental backup scheme?
I mean full backup.
Acronis 2019 for a disk 440GB creates only one tib backup file 404GB( attachment photo)

Andrew, thanks for the further information.
The only reason why ATI 2019 would create a 404GB backup image for a 440GB disk is either your drive is very full with minimal free space, or else you have selected to backup using sector-by-sector method!
If you perform a normal backup without using sector-by-sector mode, then I would expect the backup image size to be smaller, but again, if you are using the bootable ISO disk, you need to be aware that there are no default exclusions set unless you add these yourself manually, therefore your backup image will include very large files such as the pagefile.sys, hiberfil.sys, swapfile.sys and System Volume Information folders which will inflate the backup file size.

I am sorry but i made a mistake.I found out that the Acronis backup(bootable iso), creates one backup file in NTFS storage disk and a lot of backup files 4.198 GB each in FAT32 storage disk.Does not depend of Acronis version 2019 or 2017.The total volume is about the same in both cases.
By the way, edition 2017 writes, under of progress bar, the name of backup file which is created but not the edition 2019.
Thak you very much for your help.

Andrew, the 4GB file size is the maximum file size for FAT32 drives, hence the multiple file segments when using a drive formatted in this way. NTFS has a much higher maximum file size depending only on whether you have a MBR partitioned drive or are using GPT.
