Since the subject is backup, and you are concerned about 2G files, I
assume you think backups are supposed to be compressed. Not since HDDs
got cheap.

At the risk of sounding like a busted record, if you want a backup just
clone your HDD. It is about a four click operation with DFSEE. And you
can easily pluck out a single file, and swap the drive for your boot
drive if that blows up. Yea, yea, assuming you have access to the
drive. In the case of my laptop I use USB.

My data partitions I just copy to the storage box across the lan.
Everybody now has at least one old machine, right. OK, some may have
given them all away. That was silly.
