Max File Size

Backup > Max File Size

The Max File Size page applies to volume backups only.  When a volume backup runs, image files of the volume get created. The file size specified in this option is the maximum size of each image file. For example, a volume containing 10 GB of data has been set to run. The image that gets created for a full backup may be 5 GB. If the max file size is set to 600 MB, the system will create 9 files, 8 that are 600 MB and 1 file with the balance of the data.

If you are going to write the image files to a CD or DVD, select the file size that is appropriate for the media.

Unrestricted file sizes are only supported on NTFS formatted disks. If you select a max file size and modify the default unrestricted value, the largest value supported by the configuration is 2000 MB. This is to support FAT32 formatting on storage devices. If a larger size is desired the only other option is unrestricted.

The list of machine IDs you can select depends on the Machine ID / Group ID / Organization ID filter. To display on this page, machine IDs must have backup software installed on the managed machine using the Backup > Install/Remove page.
