SUMMARY
=======
I realized soon after I sent the original email that I hadn't tried
vdump|vrestore yet. I tried it and it worked just fine.
Suggestions I received were to try:
Pax ...
tar -E ...
Since I got it to work with vdump|vrestore I didn't try either of these.
I've also had somebody say they think vdump is faster than tar anyway.
Thanks a lot!

ORIGINAL QUESTION
=================
Hello managers!
In trying to copy files from one machine to another using tar (both
machines run Tru64 5.1A PK6):
tar -cf - . | rsh remote_server 'cd /disk/path/subdir/ && tar
-xvBsf -'
I got the following error:
tar: ./hot_back_d3/psindex.dbf : File too large for archive
format, truncating to 8589934591 bytes
I read the man page and searched the web and can't find any reference to
what the largest size is for a file to be included in a tar.
Does anybody have a workaround? How about gtar -- has anybody used that
with large files? Any other ideas?
Thank you!
Andy
