I was not aware of that. Still using CD-RW and only getting reports from my DVD users. At least one of them got happy with large files after pointing me to the lack of Large File Support in scdbackup-0.7 . Conclusion so far : For files larger than 2 GB i can only propose to use afio format rather than ISO. Again: get at least afio-2.4.7.9beta4 for that and make thorough tests including real restore experiments. Be aware that 4 GB might be another limit. Have a nice day :) Thomas
