NTBackup.exe - Same bug as Windows 2003?

[Guest]

I have Windows XP Professional SP 2.
Yesterday I connected my SCSI tape driver to run a backup.
I received an error.
Event ID: 8001 and 8019.
NTbackup fail to run the backup.
I checked on the internet, there is a reference about a a patch for the same
problem on Windows 2003, but no patch is available for Windows XP.
Someone had the same problem or knows what could be the cause?

By the way, the tape was running before I updated the machine last friday...

Thanks.

Stefano,
I too get the 8019 error from two different PC's, both executing
NTBACKUP.EXE. Did you determine a solution to 8019?
Both my PC's stop the backup after creating a file whose size is
4,194,277 KB. I'm wondering if NTBACKUP has a size limit,
hard-coded, or in the registry somewhere? Thanks!

Rick,

Well, I don't know about XP but I have 2003 backups larger than 6GB.

Same here, before I had backups of 20 Gb....
Probably is a limit on the tape, please check with the diagnostics, we had
the same on DDS3 tape that what setted up to work as a DDS2 from original
diagnostics.

What are you backing up to? It sounds like the 4 GB FAT32 file size limit.
If you are backing up to a file on a fat32 drive that is the largest file
allowed. There is no workaround. You need a file system that supports larger
files e.g. NTFS

Not using tape for backup medium. Using a Seagate, USB-Connected, 300 GB
hard drive, connected on XP backup-only PC.

I believe ntbackup has a 4gb file limit in XP.

I believe ntbackup has a 4gb file limit in XP.

That is a limit of FAT32. If you use NTFS or a network share that supports
larger files NTBackup will use larger files. I have many customers who do
25 - 30 GB backups all the time.
