why not use gnu's tar? http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/tar-1.15/

use the compress option (gzip)

Hi,
You can do it by spliting the files in portions smaller than 2 GB and than cpio or tar to tape.

split [-b n[k|m]] [-a suffix_length] [file [name]]

For restoring the files you can use cat.

Regards,
Borislav

Use the GNU version. This also applies to tar, gzip, etc...

Merci beaucoup,

Split is ok, and I'll try fbackup, if this tool allows copie of file > 2048 Mo, because the file, I must save have a size of 9985 Mo.

Thank's again.
