Note that the manufacturers typically (always?) format large USB removeable
drives as FAT32 (for maximum range of OS application). However, FAT32
has a 4G file size limit. So, if you go to make a back up of say, your 20G
laptop drive and try to store that backup as a single file on the USB drive,
you'll be out of luck (and the error message is rather cryptic).
Recommendation: format your new drive as NTFS unless you have a compelling
reason not to.
