Acronis backup from FTP makes multiple small files

[patrick5]

I am trying to backup a pc with acronis true image 2016 to my freenas with ftp. The backup succeeds, but it divides the file into small 2gb pieces. Is there an option in FreeNas for max file size that I missed or is it Acronis acting up? I'll also try their support.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

It's fairly common for backup software to do this. FreeNAS/ZFS doesn't do anything like this. The ZFS max file size is 16 exbibytes.
