    For sure you can. The 4GB size is the default size that BE allocates to a B2D. Increasing the size means less *.bkf files are created. however, increasing the size of your B2D files means that you have more chance of losing more data if there is a corruption of 1 of those *.bkf files.

    So, don't go creating them at 50GB for instance where maybe 10GB will do. You will need to play around with this to get the best out of them.

    Thanks!
