RESOLUTIONS:
There are two ways to go around this:
- You can split the data so that the files do not exceed 4GB.
Please go to Where to Backup->Enable Multi-Drive Spanning->Use Fixed Split Size->2GB
- Convert the System Format from FAT32 to NTFS:
Standard Windows utility that is called CONVERT serves this purpose
Just go to the Start->Run->Cmd (Command Prompt) and execute the command:
C:\> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs
Where C: is a name of the drive you want to convert.
After machine re-boot conversion process will start and you'll have your FAT32 converted to NTFS without data loss.
