I'm backing up a >9GB tgz file with backuppc and tar as transfer method without problems. Client: RHEL AS 4.0 with GNU tar 1.14 Backuppc: Debian 3.1 with GNU tar 1.14 http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/limitations.html#maximum_backup_file_sizes It seems that with GNU tar the max. size is either 8GB or maybe 64GB.
