Stephane Gassies Posts: n/a	Re: tar over 2 GB - how to backup it? According to the AIX manual, tar does not know how to deal with files whose size is > 2Gb. Fortunately, this is not true. This upper limit is around (more than) 6 Gb. You can safely use tar unless you files are close to 6 Gb. For the pax command, the syntax is really close to tar. Try "man pax" for help. Kind regards, Stephane
