NT backup to file size limit

[Michael]

Ive set up sceduled Daily backups on a Win 2000 SBS server
using NT backup to a portable USB drive for a client as
backup to file as win 2000 sees this as an extra hard
drive. All backups are failing and logs are coming up
empty. The file size on the disk is allways 4,194,277kb
and backups smaller than this are working fine. Is there
any way of allowing the file size to be bigger ive checked
the switches but have found nothing. Any help would be
appreciated

Thanks

Michael

The file system you use on your USB drive has a file
size limit of 4 GBytes. Use a different file system (e.g.
NTFS), or use xcopy.exe instead of backup.exe. It would
make it much, much easier to retrieve files from backup!
