Status: Verified

FACT(s) (Environment):

Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000

SYMPTOM(s):

PROBKUP prompts "Please enter next device/file name or type 'quit' to exit" during backup process

Database is larger than 4GB

Attempting to backup database to a single file

Disk has enough space available for backup

Disk is using the FAT32 filesystem

Unable to use multiple files to backup database, database must be backed up to a single file

CAUSE:

File exceeds maximum allowed size for FAT32 filesystem

FIX:

In order to workaround the maximum 4GB filesize limitation, the database must be backed up to an NTFS volume.

On an NTFS volume, filesize is restricted only by the size of the volume itself.
