Re: Copying files over 2G in size
Nope tar & cpio will not handle files > 2Gb.
I would recommend gtar (GNU tar) available at
http://www.gnu.org
Rgds,
Jeff

Re: Copying files over 2G in size
Yes, that's the limitation. You have two options:
a) get GNU tar from the porting centre
b) Use any other copy method

Re: Copying files over 2G in size
If you are running 11.11 there are patches for 'tar' and 'cpio' that enable 8GB handling:
For 11.11 tar - PHCO_26423
For 11.11 pax - PHCO_26422
Regards!

Re: Copying files over 2G in size
with files of that size you wouldn't want to use "tar" nor "cpio", would you?
Which do complain after experiencing a dropout on the tape and ABORT (leaving you with NOTHING).
And perhaps your files are even bigger than 8GB, so the patch won't help much...
How about to investigate into "split-mirror copies", and/or commercial backup-software, like Omniback (ok, it's called "DataProtector", by now)?
Just my $0.02,
Wodisch

Re: Copying files over 2G in size
Here is what I use:
fbackup -i /var/adm/sw -f - | (cd /data; frecover -Xrf -)
This example is using fbackup to copy the /var/adm/sw directory to standard out, then pipes it into frecover which extracts it directly into the new directory /data.
fbackup does not have the 2gb limitation and is standard on HP-UX systems.
Thanks for participating in the forums,
Martin
