No, I did mean FAT32.  The size limit (for *files*) is 4G (not 2G, sorry).

That is the limit for the *drive* size.  But whoever posted the original 
message was trying to recover a file from backuppc, not a disk.  4G for a 
restore can be reached pretty easily, it just happened to me yesterday on a 
WindowsXP with FAT32 and the error message you get is in the lines of "disk 
full".
