OK, so it's not that, then.<br>
<br>
What are you using to make the images?<br>
<br>
Another plug for partimage:<br>
<a href="http://www.partimage.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.partimage.org</a><br>
<br>
It has an option to automatically split / recombine backups across<br>
multiple files of your chosen size. I think from memory it defaults to<br>
2 decimal GB which fits nearly inside FAT32's 2 GiB restriction.<br>
