Sorr I missed information. I am restoring to RHEL4 box. I can transfer 500MB files no problem, but once I try 2GB or more it fails with a PIPE error. I have been able to transfer a 2GB file maybe twice out of the 20 times I've tried. Any ideas?
Not directly related to the original post but i seem to have lots of problems relating to larger files with rsync, even when I am backing up large files, like Exchange database, it causes issues, but it doesn't have this issue with every deployment of backuppc, I'm not sure what to do. I've tried changing my transfer method from rsync to smb and this is what I get in the log when backing up a windows machine. }Üh�ÜUðßàöÄzÜ`�ÜUøé{ÿÿÿÝØ3À[^ÉÂ�ÌÌÌÌÌ‹ÿU‹ìQ‹E S3Û;Ãu [EMAIL PROTECTED]/attrib (ed8d4fc28920fb5327c53f64019fa61b) tarExtract: Unexpected end of tar archive (tot = 1048576, num = 287232, posn = ) tarExtract: Removing partial file �‹ø;û|I8Ôt"‹E‹@@8X/ujôÿÌ�Pè”øÿÿ„ÀtVjëVS‹Eü‹jPÿ‘€���‹ø‹Eü‹PÿQ;û}‹Çë‹E ‹ ‰‹6‹VÿP3À_^[ÉÂ�ÌÌÌÌÌ‹ÿU‹ìVÿu ÿuÿÔ�‹ð…ö}G�þó€uÿuh tarExtract: BackupPC_tarExtact aborting (Unexpected end of tar archive) tarExtract: Done: 188 errors, 48 filesExist, 802 sizeExist, 181034 sizeExistComp, 66 filesTotal, 21520584660 sizeTotal Got fatal error during xfer (Unexpected end of tar archive) Backup aborted (Unexpected end of tar archive) Lee Connell Ammonoosuc Computer Services, Inc.

I think you mean that 2 GB is the limit for FAT16. Windows 95a was the last FAT16 operating system released by Microsoft. The limit for FAT32 is 8 TB. This was released with Windows 95b in 1996. How many of us in 1996 figured that we would have terabyte drives in 2008? It is reported that FAT64 will support up to 16 exabytes.
