OK. I will try to do this tomorrow. >CLcd> % Off topic: Why not use Linux w/ Samba as backup-server? >CLcd> Yippie. I was wondering how long it might take before this question >CLcd> will come up. Yes, I did. And: the other way around may work (see a >CLcd> little later in that mail). >CLcd> BUT: I HAVE TO USE WINDOWS.

Same situation but it stops at a different size; I think it was 2 GB (4 GB with Samba) I dont know which process gives me the "filesize exceeded"; how can I find out? I get this if try to use a "cp" (copy) with a file larger than 4 GB exactly in that Moment when it reaches the magic border. In case of using SAPDB I get an error from the database saying "Broken Connection". When I examine the datafile already backed up on the Windows box it has - surprisingly - again the magic filesize. I think that SAP Backup uses some kind of "internal TAR" because in case running SAPDB under Windows there is no OS-driven "TAR". But may be you are right. Right now I dont know how to figure out. Anyway: I cannot tell SAPDB to use a different TAR. Ive already thought about using STAR. CLcd> Stefan, do you think there may be a "switch" in the kernel, or CLcd> something with my GLIBC?
