TI file size

As a fairly new user, I have only made 4 images of my C:\ drive that has consistantly been around 28 GB. The first couple of times this resulted in files below 3 GB: the third time got me 3 files (2 of 4 GB and 1 about 2 GB).

For the first time I had to use the restore feature - it was on the 3 file image and it worked beautifully. In fact, I had to do it twice to ascertain and overcome a problem. I am very impressed.

Now the question: My last image resulted in a 5.92 GB file despite Fat32 4 GB limit and I am puzzled. I am using build 796 and always use Check Image for Errors as well as Explore Image and all seems to be well. I am also using the default settigs, i.e., I am not specifying image sizes.

Any clarification gratefully accepted.

 

> My last image resulted in a 5.92 GB ...

Eh? Where is that 5.92 GB image stored? On an FAT32 partition?? That would be ... impossible!

 

Hello Hari,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis True Image (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/).

I agree with MiniMax's, it is impossible to create 5.92 Gb image on the FAT32 partition. Could you please check where the image is stored?

Thank you.

I can only offer my apologies to those who replied! I confused my partition drive size of 27.0 GB with the used size of 4.93 GB. The TI size is 2.65 GB and I am at a loss to explain how Windows Explorer showed me a TI of 5.92 GB which even I knew it couldn't be. Mea culpa!
