Hi all. My aim was to restore a big size (>4GB) file to another machine that is not a BackupPC registered host. The restore should be done by a windows user that don't know anything 'bout linux/tar/console/... A newbie, not a technician.
So, the second my aim is to do that simpler possible. Can't do that trying to download the Zip file: > If you look at the source for Archive::Zip, the zip file format > it writes uses a 32 bit unsigned integer for the file length. > So zip (or Archive::Zip) imposes a 4GB file size limit. Can't do directly clicking on file link into BackupPC backup browse, 'cause it freeze at 3.99 GB. > Today i'll check if the direct download of a big size file works : > i'll look at apache2 error log and i'll try connecting directly to the > BackupPC server using a dedicated switch. No error on apache2 log; same problem using private lan. But i discover a funny thing: the problem of download freeze at 3.99 gb happens with Internet Explorer 7, but not with Mozilla Firefox/Iceweasel!!! Is it a ie settings? Or a Win firewall feature? Something related to DRM (so you cannot download a DVD iso :-D)? Anyway, this user don't wont to install Firefor (grrr...), so this became a MY problem, not still a problem of BackupPC, of course!
