mass storage device error hangs at 14% on backup

[ripf...@gmail.com]

All,

In trying to backup VMs to a mass storage device via usb, the device conks out at 14 % or roughly 3.9gb of data. I have tried 64gb thmb drives and a TB device and get the same error at the same 14%. The drives are formatted Fat and readible from dom0 and the winVM.  Any help would be appreciated. And thanks for the great work with this OS.

FAT have a limit on single file size, 4GB. So this is why it is failing.

How did that error look like? There is related ticket here:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1359

Anyway - use device with different file system (ntfs is ok, if you need
to access it from other OSes, otherwise I suggest ext4).
