File encrypting fails

Hello all,


I seem to have a issue encrypting large files and creating encrypted images that are large in size. The process started but shortly after I get a error stating that the file is to large to be created. The particular file I want to encrypt it about 85Gb. Im putting the file on a external drive and there is plenty space for it. I thought maybe I could create a image (100Gb) encrypted and just put the file inside it but I get the same error. Any ideas?


Thanks

What is the format of the volume on which you're trying to create the disk image file? If it's FAT, there's a 4 GB limit on file size.
