A while back,someone posted that Macrium Reflect was limited to making 4GB files when making a system image.
That's true if you use a USB drive formatted in Fat 32.
If using Fat 32 format you will end up with probably 5 or more small image files.
If using a USB formatted as NTFS you will get 1 big file.
I prefer 1 file to many small files.

FAT32 file size support tops out at 4GB and volume size tops out at 2TB. This means that you're limited to 2TB FAT32 partitions if you want to use a 4TB drive. It also means that you are limited to 4GB files. This is a concern with uncompressed high-definition movie files, where 30GB files are not unheard of. Theoretically, NTFS is limited by design to 16EB (Exabytes). One Exabyte is the equivalent of one billion Gigabytes, so we're quite a ways away from maxing out NTFS. In practice, 2 to 4TB volumes are the limit at this time. Larger volumes will require a 64-bit OS and compatible hardware.
