How > many of us in 1996 figured that we would have terabyte drives in 2008? That is the limit for the *drive* size. But whoever posted the original message was trying to recover a file from backuppc, not a disk. 4G for a restore can be reached pretty easily, it just happened to me yesterday on a WindowsXP with FAT32 and the error message you get is in the lines of "disk full".
