    Hallo everybody,
    Has anyone experiences with veritas Backup Exec "backup to disk"?
    We bought some 120GB FireWire/USB2.0 external IOmega disks to do a
    backup to disk and afterwards take the whole thing from this disk to tape.
    The Problem is, that the B-T-D stops after it wrote a 4,1 GB File into
    the Backupfolder saying "insuffisant space on disk".
    The disk is still accessable through Windows Explorer.
    The Machine is running W2K Prof. SP4.
    Is there a problem with the filesize in windows?
    Can one tell BE to create backup files not greater than 2 GB?

    Regards
    Uwe

    I found out: one must use NTFS for Files bigger than 4 Gig.
    Now It's running
