Not that I'm a expert in this area but I don't believe its really a problem
with tar ... I think its an issue with the maximum file size on the target
file system or device.

When I was using the built-in backup solution on a Qube2 the backup would
never be greater than 2GB ... most likely a Linux filesystem limitation
before the file was transferred to an SMB share on an NT Workstation.
