I believe that those limits, as documented, are out of date. I know the
cygwin rsync had such a limit (but I thought it was 2 or 4G), but that has
since been resolved if using the latest distribution from cygwin. I
currently have one 68G file in one of my backups performed using SMB. Hmm,
thinking about it I probably should validate that file.

and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
