If You work with removable media, the size of a file of an image is set automatically only. 

 

FAT16 and FAT32 file systems have a limit for maximum file sizes. In particular, FAT16 limit 
is 2Gb, FAT32 limit – 4Gb. FAT32 is currently the most popular end user file system. At the 

same time, existing hard drives have capacities of 160Gb and above! Therefore, an image file 

might easily exceed this limit. In this case Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows will 

automatically split image into several files. 

If you need to create an image automatically on CD-R/RW, DVD-RW or DVD+R/RW 
media or a tape, Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows will ask you to insert a 
new disc (tape), when the previous is full. 
You can also fix image file size by selecting Fixed size and entering the desired 
size or selecting it from the drop-down list. By default, the value is in bytes, but you 
can also use kilobytes and megabytes by adding needed units. 

 

You can also split the image file into several volumes, when storing it on a hard drive. Later 

you will be able to easily transfer these files onto CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW discs. 

Creating images directly on CD-R/RW, DVD-RW or DVD+R/RW might take considerably 

longer time then it would on a hard disk. 

Now select the data compression level for image to be created. 
If you select None, all data will be transferred into an image file as they are, 
increasing the image size. Maximum compression might prolong image creation.
