Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / August 2003Backup to USB
I installed a 30 gig external usb drive to backup a 18 gig internal drive. Microsoft Backup will only let me backup to Type "File" and to a ".qic" file. Problem is that after 4 gigs, it asks for new media. My guess is that QIC files can't be more than 4 gigs, but it still doesn't explain why I can't just backup, file for file, to the external drive. I'm not using compression so it shouldn't be a prob... let me know what you think .. thanks! bill No file, QIC or otherwise, can be larger than 4Gb with the FAT32 file system. Why use Backup, and why use QIC? Just drag and drop whatever files/folders you want to backup from one drive to another. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > I installed a 30 gig external usb drive to backup a 18 gig > internal drive.

If you don't use the MS W98 backup program, it cannot fail you when you need it most. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP W98 System Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo > No file, QIC or otherwise, can be larger than 4Gb with the FAT32 file > system.
