>>I bought a portable/external hard drive to use as a backup of my notebook hard drive. The portable/external drive is formatted FAT32 but my drive is NTFS. Will I have any problems if I XCOPY files from the NTFS drive to FAT32 drive and possibly (in case of a crash) restore files back to NTFS?

Thank you for your help, Bill.
