I'm actually really interested in hearing the answer to this too!!!
Pst files are reaching 5-6 gigs now, and I'm just about to check to see of
they ARE being backed up, or not!
But what are the limits, using a new version of smbclient? How about rsync
using a new version of cwrsyncd?
The FAQ suggests 2 gigs for smbclient, but I'm pretty sure I've done larger
files (like 2.5, but I need to check.)
Who knows what??
Thanks!!!
