[flexbackup-help] backup error

[Bjorn G. <bj...@gr...>]

I just installed and ran flexbackup for the first time. While it looks like
it has what I need, it didn't finish the backup, ending with an error
message. Here are relevant entries from the log file:

| Backup of: /home/users/kimberley
| Date of this level 0 backup: Tue Oct 07 14:36:38 2003

|   14:36:38 2003 zip from dk.graabek.com" /tmp/archive.24504.zip

and at the end of the log file this:

The temporary file in /tmp is 2 GB in size. This has however never been a
problem in the past. I've just a program called Reoback, and it has
succesfully created files in excess of 2 GB. The Os in question is Redhat
Linux 7.3. What might the problem be? Which program is flexbackup using on
my system which can't handle 2 GB?
