Hi,
Im trying to back up my hard disk (c:) which is using
about 30GB of the 120GB disk. But the thing is I try and
back up the hard disk onto a seperate drive with enough
space, using the default backup program, but the backup
stops at 3.99GB file size, saying I don't have enough
space.

Why is this happening?
Thanks
 
Because the drive you are trying to backup to is formatted with FAT32
and that has a maximum file size of 4GB. Convert the disk to NTFS and it
will work.
