Feature Request: FAT32 USB Recovery Disk

[lopeztaz]

I would like to create a 32GB Veeam Recovery Media USB flash disk containing a 18GB backup. Since the recovery media is formatted fat32 due to Microsoft's recommendations on boot media, individual files cannot be larger then 4GB. I would like to request splitting up the backup file into 4GB chunks to create an all in one recovery USB flash stick for C: partition backups or PCs whose backups would fit in 32GB. So for example an 18GB backup would contain 5 individual backup files of 4GB + 4GB + 4GB + 4GB + 2GB = 18GB.

Hi lopeztaz,

You can create recovery media on NTFS partition

I used Rufus and the Veeam ISO to create the stick but it gives mixed results when starting. The problem is that it is not always recognized during boot up. I was looking for a FAT32 compatible option so that I could use EFI.

Joshua,

Try to use the native recovery media creation logic and check if it boots properly in your environment.
