"Insert next volume" message when backing up to a USB flash drive
Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition treats your USB flash drive as removable media. If it
is formatted in FAT32, the size of one file is limited to 4GB, so when your backup exceeds this size the
program automatically splits it into 4GB volumes and waits for insertion of the next media for the
next volume. Just click OK and the backup process will continue. Repeat this if the message is
displayed again until your backup finishes. For more detailed information click Acronis True Image
