You guys were very helpful with my last NTBackup command switch question, so
I going to throw another one at ya:

I want to use NTBackup to backup an XP Pro computer to a file and then burn
the file to DVDs.

The computer doesn't have a DVD burner in it so I will have to transfer the
file to another computer to burn it after creating it in NTBackup. No
problem with all of this. The problem I am having is that NTBackup is making
one giant 15GB file.

Is there a way to tell NTBackup to backup to a file and to limit each
segment to 4GB?

Thank You

Interesting note: Veritas Backup (on my server) can create bkf segments of
x size that NTBackup can read. So I would assume (lets not get into the
assume thing) that if NTBackup can read segments it should be able to
create them.
