This is not a question, actually. Just wanted to share what I found out in case it helps others and hear comments if any.

If you are like me, you will sometimes backup all your files
including some MR
images of disks and partitions, in order to keep an extra copy of everything.
If you use MR to backup your files, then you will notice that MR
images (that is, .mrimg files) over 4GB cannot be
explored as such
when they are stored in a MR
File and Folder backup container (that is, in a .mrbak file), because of technical reasons. They need to be
restored (extracted) before use.
Therefore, this is what I do when I create a MR image: I manually set 3.99GB as
Size in
Advanced settings - File size - Enter a fixed file size for the image.
I've just tested it and it works. Now I can explore my large MR images
stored in a MR File & Folder backup without having to restore them.
Please note: 4GB image splitting is automatic in case you save to a FAT32 volume, but I usually save to NTFS, so I need to set
Size manually.
Please also note: "
Incremental retention rules will not be run if backup files are split. This can be caused by setting a fixed file size or if the destination file system is FAT32" (that's what I read in MR).
