Linix has a 2gig file size limit.  Why do thay put 11 gig drives in a
qube2 if they can't be backed up?

The solution is to use another machine, running legato or netbackup or whatever.

On our qube I've added a scsi card and have a tapr drive attached.  Using
dump/restore to backup.  It's not very reliable though.  I'm thinking the
scsi drivers aren't that well debugged.
