| TI 10 create a backup strangeness
Im having a confusing problem and it's that i just got a brand new 160 gb wd hard drive and i created a backup of my c and d drive using ti 10 and after the backup was done then i saw that it had backed up 7 tib files instead of just one tib file like it should be...When i look at each tib file the size is 3.99 except for tib file 7 which says 2.55mb...Even if i just backup the c drive it will show 5 tib files for the c drive..this is happening in vista and xp also..This dont happen with my other hd drive which is 465 gb but it's happening with the new hard drive..Im doing it normally as usual by choosing create a full backup archive with the default option and im totally clueless as to what is going on and maybe somebody could help me ?
i included a pic of what it looked like after i created the backup on my new hd - |

| Did you set a limit as to how big each file can be? I know TI can split your images into any given size. 4 GB sounds like DVD size to me. I'm not in front of the computer which has TI installed but I'm sure you can find those defaults in Options.

| What I was referring to is called "Archive Splitting" make sure yours is set to Automatic.
I see you already posted it in their support forum: »www.wilderssecurity.com/showthre···t=198997 and in your screen shot you have formatted your drive in FAT32 which has a 4GB per file limit.
said by »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Alloc···le#FAT32 :The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GB minus 1 Byte (232 - 1 bytes). Video capture and editing applications and some other software can easily exceed this limit. Until mid-2006, those who run dual boot systems or who move external data drives between computers with different operating systems had little choice but to stick with FAT32. Since then, full support for NTFS has become available in Linux and many other operating systems, by installing the FUSE library (on Linux) together with the NTFS-3G application. Data exchange is also possible between Windows and Linux by using the Linux-native ext2 or ext3 file systems through the use of external drivers for Windows, such as ext2 IFS; however, Windows cannot boot from ext2 or ext3 partitions. You need to reformat that drive NTFS then it should work.

Panama | I converted it to ntfs and now everything is fine again..I had forgotten that when you buy an external hd they should be converted to ntfs right away ... Thanks .. |

FAT32 on External USB is needed to do imaging with Ghost2003 but TI can do NFTS. I use both sometimes so FAT32 is still good for me.
I mainly use Ghost2003 for an old XP computer that won't allow TI to work from the recovery CD because the USB mouse doesn't work. |

Bay Area | That's right I remember that one of the reasons I never did like Ghost to begin with especially after XP became available.
