> At our site files larger than 10BG are usually recreated faster than
> restored from backup, therefore we added to the "RsyncExtraArgs" the
> parameter
> "--max-size=10000000000".
>
> Although this parameter is visible in the rsync command lines at both
> the sender and the reciever (seen with ps ax|grep rsync - see at the end),
> larger files
> are backuped nevertheless (max. file was about 65GB).
