Backup problem

[Dan Bukaty]

I am trying to backup C drive to new external hard drive.
I currently have 5.5 gigs of data on internal 20 gig hard
drive. The new external drive is 60 gigs. With each
attempt using Backup Wizard I receive the following
message: "The fixed media is full you cannot backup all of
the specified data to this disk device. The Backup
operation will stop." "The Backup is complete" "Status:
completed with errors." External drive shows 4 gigs of
data with 53 gigs of free space. I contacted External
manufacturer. They reviewed, and feel external drive is
working properly. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks, Dan Bukaty 913-663-3800 Overland Park, Kansas

4 gig file size limit on FAT32 formatted drives.

Instead of using ntbackup.exe to back up your files, you could
use xcopy.exe. This would easily avoid the 4 GByte file size
limit.
