backing up to external USB drive creates multiple backup files
Using Acronis True Image Home 2011 on a Win 7 64-bit OS. When I back up to an external USB connected hard drive, I get a backup of 11 files with a maximum of 4 GB per file. Checking my Disk backup Options, specifically backup splitting, I've set it to Custom 75 GB or 1 TB....yet my backup files are no larger than 4 GB.....all 11 of them. When I backup to a secondary drive within the computer, it will backup to 1 file as desired. Why can't I backup to an external USB drive using 1 file vs 11 files in the backup? Is this a new limitation for external USB connected hard drives? How can I create 1 large backup file as desired? Thanks.

Grover,
You guessed correctly, the external USB drive is FAT 32. I wasn't aware of that limitation. Thanks for the help.
