Does anyone know if there is there a problem if I back up a NTFS HDD to a
FAT32 HDD using XP Backup???
My primary HDD is NTFS and my usual backup disk is a much smaller FAT32 that
I just back the contents of MyDocuments to.
I usually just copy and paste the files across but using XP Backup would
give me the option of storing much more system data (e.g. the registry).
 
Hi,

You can, but keep in mind that the maximum file size in FAT32 is 4GB minus a
few bytes. If your backup exceeds this size, the disk write will fail.
