Selecting image file size
With this step, you can specify if the program should create a single file or split it
into equal smaller images.
If you select Automatic, Acronis True Image will try to decide this for every case.
If there's enough space on the selected disk, the program will create a single image
file.
If there is not enough space, Acronis True Image will warn you and wait for your
decision. You can try to free some additional space and continue or stop Acronis
True Image, free some space and re-execute the procedure.
Image file size selection
FAT16 and FAT32 file systems have a 4 GB limit for maximum file sizes. FAT32 is currently the
most popular end user file system. At the same time, existin
g
hard drives have capacities of
160GB and larger! Therefore, an image file might easily exceed this limit. In that case, Acronis
True Image will automatically split the image into several files.
If you need to create an image automatically on CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW
media, Acronis True Image will ask you to insert a new disk when the previous one
is full.
You can also fix image file size by selecting Fixed size and entering the desired
size or selecting it from the drop-down list. By default, the value is in bytes, but you
can also use kilobytes and megabytes.
