I am beginning to archive old data and have a 2TB USB FAT formatted drive for this purpose.
However, any file that is larger than 4GB is truncated to 4GB. Apparently FAT drives won't copy files larger than this.
I can compress the files and copy them but soon even the compressed data files will be larger than 4GB.
Is there an easy solution around this?
(Note I can't reformat to NTFS since the data is on a Red Hat computer and they don't support NTFS).
