Copying SBS2K3 Backup Files 1

[Pictman]

Is there any way I can copy .bkf files from attached storage to a USB flash drive for offsite storage? When I attempt to make a copy I get the error message, "Cannot copy Small Business Server Backup (01): The parameter is incorrect."
Thanks for reading this.

How big is the file? Most flash drives use the FAT file system, with a maximum size of 4GB per file. My smallest .bkf files are all way bigger than my biggest flash drive (8GB) so I can't replicate your problem.

With hard drive prices at $39 for 160GB it would be feasible to buy one or more for offsite storage, either connect directly to IDE/SATA or buy a $20 USB enclosure to hold the drive while you transfer the data. What's holding your backup file now?

Thanks Tony. I've taken your advice and bought a WD Passport.
