I apologise if my question is answered before (I didn?t find it)

I have a problem when BackupPC (3.2.1) tries to backup a large file, about 12GB 
in size.
I use a CentOS BackupPC server backing up an CentOS client with rsync over ssh.
I first saw this using CentOS 5 and rsync 2.x, I therefore upgraded to CentOS 6 
which has rsync 3.x as google search indicated there might be an issue with 
rsync that was fixed in 3.0X?
But the problem still exists ...

More details;
The source file (ls ?l) on the client;
-rwxr----- 1 user1 server 12773621760 Feb  4  2011 2010-12-19 Huge HD recording 
2010.m2ts

The transfer of date does not stop, and I had to stop it manually when the 
?backup file? reached ~1/2 TB on the BackupPC server (in the TopDir/pc 
structure);
-rw-r-----   1 backuppc backuppc 499482475314 Aug 31 11:59 f2010-12-19 Huge HD 
recording 2010.m2ts

I don?t know the processes involved, but it seemed to me that 
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump was the process writing to the 1/2 TB 
file (just guessing here?)
I have other of size up to 6GB where the backup succeeds, where are the 
limitations above that?
But where is this limitation, is it BackupPC, rsync or? What can I do?
