Default size of BKF files when backing up to disk

Is there any way to change the default size of the BKF files Veritas Exec version 10.0 Rev 5484 (Trial 60 version) creates from 1 GB to actually write all tageted files/folders to 1 single BKF file just like NTBACKUP does by default? Is there a size limit when configuring this option if available?

You can change the size of the bkf file, by going into the Properties of the B2D folder, then the configuration tab.

Change the size for Maxiumum size for Backup to Disk files.

The size limit is 4096GB.
But it all depends on the operating size and format of the disk you are writing to.

Hi,
Can you please elaborate on the properties of the B2D folder. I am unable to locate this.

Also, are there any advatages or disadvantages to increasing the backup to file sizes?
