I've only seen the old "continuation" savesets in 3 cases:
#1 Old clients (pre 6) did this all the time. They couldn't handle 2GB
files.
#2 There's an NSR server setting of "SS cutoff size". But this isn't
supposed to work on modern clients, and it shouldn't be the cause of
something affecting only some backups.
#3 If you're testing anything, I've often heard of Legato distributing
test binaries to customers that were debug builds. Those commonly
had the 2GB session cutoff as well. I haven't heard of that
happening with EMC recently, but I suppose it's possible.
Other than those 3, I don't know what the cause would be. I've heard of
some other cases, but didn't see followups that pointed to the reason.

What information points to that? Can you make it not happen by raising
the limits? (file size or others?)
