Acronis True image created 3 files

I just created a backup to acronis true image.  

The program created three TIB files.  

_v1 - (2g)
_v2- (4g)
_v3- (4g)

Any ideas why the program created 3 files?

What are the sizes of these files? Did you do file backup or system backup? And what are the extensions of these files?
Normally Acronis would split the backup files.

I see that it split them, probably because the usb stick was formatted to fat32

If I download the tib files to my laptop, could I somehow merge them?

How do I restore multiple files?  Do I select them all at once?

so in a nutshell, when its time to restore:  I boot off of the Acronis CD, select the USB drive the files are saved on for the source, Acronis will select all the files automatically?

How would I create an archive file for the TIBs that would work with True Image?
