I am rebuilding one of our machine, and want to make backup of a directory. 
After creating tar-gz of the whole thing, I tried to SCP and get the message 
like:
filename.tar.gz: file too large.

The size of the tar-gzed file is 2.9GB. Is this because of the > 2GB file 
limitation thing? The system is RH 7.1 
If scp does not work, what will? Will things like exporting the directory 
using NFS, and thenmount it in remote system, and then copy it works, or will 
I hit the same wall?

Thanks.
