files too big for TAR

I have been using the tar command to do offline backups of database files.
It fails to backup very large files and I receive the following error:

tar: ./u0i/oradata/dwpp/datafiles/sales_history5.dbf : File too large for
archive format, truncating to 8589934591 bytes

I am running Digital Unix 4.0D on a Alpha 4100. Does anyone have
information or a solution of this problem?
