[plug] File Size limit

[garry]

I think there is an option with tar, (-M), which allows you to make 
multi-volume archives of files. I've never done this, but if you broke it 
into 4 X 1.75 Gb lumps, you would be in business.. Might work, and would be 
fairly elegant solution.. (IF it works)..  :^)=
