I get a backup error when running a backup in XP on a FAT32 file system. Saving from master drive to new slave drive as a form of backup of 13.3 gigs of information and I get an error when it reaches around 4.2 gig. The error says:
"You have either run out of space, or the backup file is too large for this disk. Note: If this disk is formatted with FAT32, the maximum possible size for the backup file is limited to 4GB. The backup operation will stop". Both drives in the machine are 40Gig and are in FAT32. Is there a work around for this problem or is that just the way it is period? If so is there another way to backup 13gig of information in this scenario besides buying a tpe backup or 20 ZIP cartriges? Can I format NTFS on the slave drive and it work? Please help anyone...Thanks
