Hi,
I've seen people report this before too. Cant say I have hit the
problem yet. Can you tell us more about the remote server. What
version of samba is installed?
Yes I have seen a similar problem reported as well.
From my vague recollection, I believe samba was the issue.
I found the following on line
"Actually, according to the samba team, the 2Gb limit is actually if you
use
mount -t smbfs command which is not within the scope of samba. they
recommend using smbclient. "
or another thing you can try if smbclient does not work
"One option is to use '/usr/bin/split' to divide the backup into
managable pieces. Then '/bin/cat' them back together.
split -b 1000m reallybigfile.tar
cat x* >> reallybigfilebacktogether.tar"
all the best
