Greetings, everyone... It's been quiet here for some time. I have an annoyance I'd like to submit to the group for thoughts: We use Backup Exec 9.2 (on NetWare) for backup at all of our sites (our offices as well as clients). On the OS/2 (and eCS) boxes, I am running the Backup Exec Agent, which essentially ties into the Novell SMS architecture. On non-OS/2 platforms, I have no trouble backing up large files (not that I have many, but a few Linux boxes do - on those, I'm either using RALUS or the older Backup Exec Linux Agent), however, when backing up from OS/2 and encountering a >2GB file, BE errors and skips the file. Naturally, this is a royal pain for getting the VirtualBox vdi's onto tape, as well as some really large mbox files under SeaMonkey or Thunderbird. Any thoughts as to how to work around this?
