large 2gb + files not visible in backup manager

[dampfnudel]

Hello,

I have some very large files on a Solaris 8 server that I'm trying to back up. I am using the UNIX agent and ARCserve 2000 on Windows 2000 Server. Smaller files in the same directory that are a few hundred megabytes in size, do appear in the backup manager and back up fine.

Designating the directory itself doesn't back up the large files either.

How do I back up very large, 2 GB + files?

Thanks

There should be an option somewhere (can't remember where, sorry?) that says "Skip files larger than 2Gb" - you'll probably find this option is set to on so the files larger than 2Gb are not getting backed up. -----------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the tip! I looked all around but I couldn't find the place to control "Skip files larger than 2GB". I checked the documentation and found the following reference:

ERROR 3932 Skip file - Too large.
Module: Task Engines
Explanation: The file is too large and was skipped.
Cause/Solution: ASTASK can optionally skip files larger than 2 GB.

This message still didn't help me because I can't find the "Tasks Engines" module to change the option.

I also heard back from CA support and they told me to edit the UNIX agent options and set "estimation off" and "not Across FS" but it didn't work.

Any other thoughts?
