Hi List,
I'm setting up a small backup script using the smbclient command with the
tar option. The machine that needs to be backuped is a W2K-Server.
I thought it might be a good idea to test if the backup will work properly,
to my surprise it won't.
smbclient //192.168.1.150/hhwwwroot "" -N -Tc
/home/backmeup/hiphopde/hhwwwroot.tar * > /backmeup/overview/hhwwwroot.txt
I get the following error message(s) (there are more files, I just copied
the last lines):

My questions would be:
1. Are there any limitations to the size of TAR-files (I'm pretty sure that
should NOT be the case! Am I wrong?)?
2. May this be related to the length of the copied files themselves (because
it says File too large)?
I'm a little bit confused, it works with smaller data on other
shares........ so I guess there IS a limitation, but why? Using tar with
tapes and such, there isn't and shouldn't be one?
Thanks for the help,
Simmel
