Iomega REV Drive File Size
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 4 comments
I am using a USB Iomega REV Drive 35/90 and BE 10d for Small Business Server. I have been successful at getting the drive to run in the Backup-to-Disk environment. My question is: In the Backup-to-Disk properties, under file management, BE automatically sets the default maximum file size to 1GB and 100 backup sets per file. This creates multiple 1GB files in the Backup-to-disk folder. I was wondering why it did this. I also tried to make the maximum size 30GB so that my data would all be in one file, but it just made 2GB files instead. Can anyone answer why this might happen? Are there an advantages or disadvantages to having the file size small, and is there any way for me to make the file larger?
Thanks.

Hello,
Please refer the following technote:

Actually I think the answer is that Veritas BE thinks it is seeing a FAT16 format because it is a proprietory format.
The REV35 device can nativley hold huge files...

Hi Brian,
Would you please update us on the status of the issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.

This item is still an issue. Despite changing the file size, BE continues to make smaller files. There has been no fix, and the couple of posts that were related to it have not helped in any way.
