How large are the exchange files?

There was a bug related to large (>8GB) files, fixed in 2.1.2pl2
(and 3.x):

    * Fixed bug in BackupPC_tarExtract for files >8GB in size whose
      lengths are multiples of 256.  Reported by Jamie Myers and
      Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem.
