MS backup stops at 4,267,131,460 bytes of back up.
system = Intel board with intel Plll 800 cpu. Three HDDs. Using a 20 Gig pull out drive as a backup, backing up 7 Gig of data. "C" is a 80 Gig. Error message is "The backup file has reached the maximum size allowed by the file system..." Is there a way to set the "file" to a larger amount? Trying to do a full backup including reg.

Hi chicagoan,
I forgot to mention I am using ME as an operating system.

I'd suggest that instead of backing up the disk you back up folders instead.
You'll probably need to divide your disk into 4 regions with each region roughly about the same size, each region consisting of selected folders.
Backup the regions as files to the disk.

What I am trying to accomplish is a full back up of everything (a mirror image) onto a pull-out drive so when my harddrive crashes I can just swap it with the pull-out drive and be up and running in a short time. I also want to be able to do a differential backup once a week to keep the pull-out up to date. I don't mind buying Ghost if that is what is needed. I was hopeing to use MSBackup though. I back up "my docs" once a week on CDRW and important files daily on CDRW as well.

norcton ghost or drive image by power quest will clone the drive so you can just pop it in and it will work
b: Split up the backup
