Re: [BackupPC-users] backing up large files from windows machines

I believe that those limits, as documented, are out of date. I know the cygwin rsync had such a limit (but I thought it was 2 or 4G), but that has since been resolved if using the latest distribution from cygwin. I currently have one 68G file in one of my backups performed using SMB. Hmm, thinking about it I probably should validate that file.
