Hi

I want to format a 80 GB External Harddisk as a backup drive to be 
accessible by both Linux and Wincedows. Is using FAT32 a good option 
(considering that having to allow access from wincedows is a necessity 
for the time being).

Secondly : are there an restrictions on how large the FAT32 partition 
can be .

Thirdly will rsync work to back up from a ext3 drive to a FAT32 drive 
and how reliable will this be

Lastly is this the right command

cfdisk /media/usbdisk**

I am using Ubuntu 5.04


will appreciate the advice / suggestions

thanks
ram
