Are there archive size or number of file restrictions when using Backup Plus ?

0

Backup Plus can handle up to 4 GB of data at a time. Higher end systems can handle this size, while lower end systems with limited amounts of RAM may not handle these archives. Also, if a created archive is this large and the archive is being incrementally updated, you will need to have at least that amount of hard drive space available for BP to create a backup copy of the archive while updating it. Also, a single file included in a backup archive cannot exceed 2 GB in size. The amount of files that can be included in a backup archive cannot exceed 65,535. Note: Backup Plus is meant to backup smaller amounts of data that cannot be reinstalled in case of a hard drive crash or virus attack. We suggest backing up important documents, E-Mail data, pictures, etc. If a hard drive crash happens, you will have to reinstall Windows as well as other programs from their original discs, so backing up these programs is not suggested or needed.
