Size Selected for Backups

In both IFD (GUI) & IFL (GUI) version 2.91 I have made images to my USB
external hard drive.
I would select MAX for the size and when completed, there would be only one
file. This is a 30 GB partition.
For both programs using version 2.92 when I select MAX, I get multiple files
each around 4 GB each.
Has anyone noticed this ?
Maybe just a bug in the newer version ?
No big deal. I can live with but just wondered what has changed as I am
accustomed to only having one file for the backup.
Thanks,
Ed.

Ed,
It's not happening here. Is the partition on your USB external HD FAT32?

FAT/FAT32 file sizes are limited.

No, it's NTFS.

In my last reply to you I said it was NTFS.
After I clicked send, I realized that I was using another drive of mine that
I don't normally use and it is FAT32.
Thanks for the info and clearing it up for me.
