We regularly backup large .iso files > 3.5 GB without issue across both platforms. Our server is running Slackware 10 with a custom 2.6.14 kernel over GB ethernet. Server uses ReiserFS and Perl is configured w/ large file support. Our client machines are mostly laptop t41 or dell desktops running WinXP. We use the backuppc-rsyncd client on Windows machines and latest rsync on the server. - bpcu |
