Same size - The image file is too large for the selected USB
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2015 4:06 pm
Hello,
I recently began using this tool to create backups of USB recovery drives for my business. However, I ran into an issue where I could not restore the image to a USB drive of the same size (16 GB). Could anyone explain to me why this happens and how to mitigate it (I already read the general FAQ and I am taking the risk of truncating to move forward).
Operation:
The recovery image was created on a 16 GB USB 2.0 drive. Using the USB Image Tool, I backed up the image to an external hard drive. I then restored the image using the tool to another 16 GB USB 2.0 drive (different manufacturer).
Could it be that the byte allocation size has to be a certain way or the user-defined buffer size in the options? Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
