Hi, I have googled for a while and read that this is a limit (where i did not understand). I do a nightly backup with rsync to a windows 2k3 (hidden)share. After doing a check on the backup routine i saw it was stopped when the backup files where reached over 2Gb. Before the rsync, I do tar system and userfiles. Like: usr.backup.tar.gz , home.backup.tar.gz etc etc to an big local backup hdd. Then it mounts the mount to the winbox and rsyncs the *.gz files. Is there another way to get rid of that 2Gb limit? btw the windows share is on NTFS. Danny.
