Does anybody know why my Backup & Recovery application
erroneously thinks the destination disk is full when I try
to do a backup? I have about 23GB left on my external
hard drive. I have about 4GB of content to back up. The
application returns an error stating that the drive is
full, and that not all files were backed up. Anyone have
a clue?

FAT32 file system on the target drive? 4 gig file size limit.
