Sorry for not responding earlier. My system crashed and i had to restore from
backups.
I did not really understand this. Are you saying there is a limit on the
number of files i can tar gz?
I also make backups of my emails and there can be as much as a million files,
pherhaps more because of the mbox style(i think) of holding mails.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but so far as I know mbox
saves all the emails of a particular folder in one big file. So if you
have 200 emails in 5 folders, then you will have 5 mbox files.
Kmail has another two or three files per mbox folder, so you really
will have 5*n folders, but you get the idea. It's not 200*n.
