BackupPC_tarCreate can restore large files. The error you are seeing happens when the metadata file size (stored in the directory's attrib file) doesn't match the uncompressed file size. It appears in this case, for some reason, the attribute file in that directory says the file size for basemap.vg is 0.
What's the output from (trying to guess the correct path from your email): BackupPC_attribPrint /data/backuppc /pc/fsdata.local/262/f%2fsrv%2fdev-disk-by-label-datadrive%2fdat/fGIS/fGarmin/attrib Look for the entry for basemap.vg. What XferMethod are you using for fsdata.local? Look in a full backup XferLOG file and see what it says for basemap.vg.
