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

I use rsync for backup of my Raq servers.  It does a very fast, file by
file mirroring over the network.  It can then be backed up using
commodity tape drives and software.

I have instructions on how to set up rsync on my website.  I believe
there is an Rsync client for Windows computers, but I don't if there is
a mac version.  Most *nix is supported.

My website is www.bearfruit.org and the rysnc website is rsync.samba.org
