I think it was version 6, but it might be older than that - maybe 5.x or
4.x.   The business suite module also played a part in this, but I can't
recall for sure.  I remember our Exchange backups being broken up into 2
GB chunks. 

It's been at least 4 or 5 years since I've seen 2 GB chunks, though. (I
can say that for sure because we didn't see if during our Katrina
restore, and that was 3 1/2 years ago).

The last time I remember large save-sets being broken up into 2 GB
chunks was quite a few releases ago, like 6.x ???
