Hi.

That's probably the reason Frank's program didn't work properly after 2gb: The Windows 95 file system has a 2gb limit on single files. That's upped to 4gb on Win98 if you use Fat32.

While this is true (Win98/FAT32 can handle 4GB files), the windows explorer is (and many other apps are) not able to handle files of more than 2GB so you are strongly advised to only create files up to that size.
One way or the other: It is not possible to back up a complete empeg collection to a single file, at least not under normal Windows or even Linux file systems. A tar to a tape would be possible though, at least under Linux.
