I think that this has been hashed over for some time now.  It seems that 
windows will only handle a 2GB zip file via the CGI interface for no 
apparently good reason.  You can either do BackupPC_zipCreate on the 
backuppc machine and save it to your windows machine via samba or 
something OR you can just choose tar for your restore and then 
compresses that if you like.
