hy.
even if that had
been a very common subject already, i still have this one big (litterary)
problem. I want to backup our main school systems, based on a Win2k fileserver,
to a linux box with samba 2.2.7a and red hat 7.3 with kernel 2.4. The
backupfile, created by the windows backup utility, is bigger than 11 Gbyte. I
tried nearly every possible way, with smaller files (of course), smbclient tar
and get. but a big file is not transferable. At least, the filesize is no
displayed correctly. but the file is always either cut of in the middle, or just
grows infintive. I tried taring whole directories over smbclient, that
worked, the file was good and big (5.3G, but many small files transfered, of
course).
I thought that the
file size limit from 4 gbyte was not applicant any more.. or am i wrong? am I
just totally confused? does anybody have any option on how to fix this
problem?
thx
patrick
