so what do we use to back up large files on windows machines? the
documentation implies that samba has a 4 gig limit, and that rsync might

thanks!

thank you for that!

Pst files are reaching 5-6 gigs now, and I'm just about to check to see of
they ARE being backed up, or not!
But what are the limits, using a new version of smbclient? How about rsync

on the second point, yes, you can override the backup method in the host
based config files. i use tar, rsync, and smb, depending on the host.
as a more general question, what can be overridden and what cannot, in the
machine based config files? are there any restrictions?
