On the Linux Kernel running on the RaQ2 and RaQ3, you cannot have a file greater
than 2 GB.  Not sure about the RaQ4.  That's the only real limit.  I suggest
creating a series of smaller backup files though.  Then transferring a backup
file across a network or the internet and extracting 1 file, a directory or a
site will not take nearly as long.
