Back up to a remote storage device

I configured windows to control the computer backup, sending the data to an
external hard drive.  The system displays the hardrive name & location, so I
know it connected.  However, the back up never succeeds.  What can I do?

Thanks Bob. Yes it is.

Thanks Bob. Yes it is.  I tried to change the format using the command
prompt, but it did not work.  I tried re-installing it this morning & found
that I another fundamental problem that may prevent the use of the external
hard drive.  After launching the installation program for the hard drive,
nothing happened.  Eventually I got an error message; "An error occurred
while launching the setup.  The Remote procedure call failed".  I have seen
this error several time while trying to install software recently.  My virus
scan is up to date & full scans have revealed nothing amiss.  Now what?

The FAT32 file system has a 4 GB limit for the size of file that it can accept

The FAT32 file system has a 4 GB limit for the size of file that it can
accept to be saved onto it. This means that any attempt to save a file that
is larger than 4 GB will be met with an error message of “Disk is full or
Not enough space” even though the hard drive may have a large amount of
space still available.

Google "convert fat32 ntfs".
