Incremental Image doubles in size/NTFS to FAT32?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have 2 questions, first... I tried an incremental image of an existing image and I noticed it double in size?, is this normal?, and if so... why not just do another full image and save the disc space and time... the incremental image took almost as long to create as a full image, so why bother with an incremental image?

secondly, I imaged to another partition (recently reformatted NTFS) and then attempted to move/copy the image to a USB2 external HDD (FAT32) and it won't allow me to do so saying disk is full (which it isn't) yadda, yadda, ya... They're DVD size images 4.3GB files and I'm thinking the FAT32 has a 4GB limit or something like that, is this the case?, pre NTFS conversion I as able to move/copy 4.3GB image files between FAT32 partitions.

Thanks for your help!

I'm still using Version 7, can this be corrected in my version?, I've been procrastinating upgrading to V9, guess it's time now. Thank you!
