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
have an 8 gig limit. then what...?
thanks!

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised
as impossible situations...

thank you for that!
any experiences with SMB and large files? with updated smbclients, when are
we likely to run into problems?
thanks a lot!

I'm actually really interested in hearing the answer to this too!!!
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
using a new version of cwrsyncd?

so this is a slightly different question about crontabing rsync backups to
an external usb drives. i know this isn't strictly a backuppc question,
but...
the idea is to schedule an rsync command to an external drive say every
wednesday morning at 3 am, instruct the office to plug the drive in on
i might be lying, BUT... i think that rsync is better at continuing
interrupted transfers??

i think that on one hand, this may not matter, because pooling would make
sure that files are only stored once.
but it does make a bit of a mess in so far as having one machine refer to
one thing goes.
i'd like to do something similar (the machines on one network are very
poorly named, and i didn'

it's a shame that there's not an option for an email address.
as it is, the email address has to be a combination of the main host login,
and the destdomain.
or am i wrong...?

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?
specifically, can $Con
