Can't seem not to split media during Backup

In performing an entire computer backup, I find True Image makes multiple 4.7 or so GB files. I would like to make one large file. I don't seem to have this option even with ADVANCED options. Any thoughts?

That's because the destination for the backup is formatted as Fat32. To get one file you need to transform it to NTFS.

 

Thanks
Does this mean that I have to reformat and lose all the data on the external drive? Ugh

 

I know of only one way to make the change without losing the data and that's to use Partition Magic. But you can also move the backup temporarily to your C drive, reformat the destination drive then move the Backup Image back to it, or make a new one if you want just one file.

 

Ralphie's above suggestion is the best way. If you can't move the data then the conversion can be done with Partition Magic or BootIt NG. Avoid doing it from WinXP until you have run "Align for NTFS" as you will finish up with 512 byte clusters.
