I am trying to backup /home with the following simple script: #!/bin/sh backup="home-$(date +%m-%d-%y)" tar -cvMf /mnt/TRASH-BOX/backups/$backup.tar home/ When the tar file reaches 2GB, I get the following output: /usr/sbin/backup: line 3: 29016 File size limit exceededtar -cvMf /mnt/TRASH-BOX/backups/$backup.tar home/ I went through the man page for tar, but found nothing that sounded promising except the -M argument. That, unless I misinterpreted, was supposed to create a multi-volume archive. With and without -M, I get the same thing, a stoppage at 2GB. Does anyone know a way around this? Or maybe a better way to do my backup? The mount point used is a Samba share. And /home is about 6.6GB. TIA -- ����������������������������������������������������������������������� David L.
