Sorry, I can't seem to reply to the list. Maybe you could pass it on.<div><br></div><div>I'm a Windows guy with some Linux. I think I'd look to see what version of gzip is installed. According to <a href="http://www.gzip.org" target="_blank">www.gzip.org</a> gzip 1.3.3 allows individual files larger than 2GiB to be compressed but not earlier versions. Being this error is a backup issue and ISOs can be quite large, I'd poke around there to see if that is causing the issue. Exclude any files larger than 2GiB from the backup and see if it backs up cleanly. Upgrade the gzip.</div>

<div></div>Hi All,
<div><br></div>
<div>We have a problem with backups for one of our VMs</div>

<div>Basically I wants to know two things:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1) Has anyone encountered this problem before?</div>
<div>2) And if so, what was your solution?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have been unable to find a later version of</div>
<div>tar available for Debian 5.0.8 (llenny) nor in</div>
<div>backports. I will keep looking for a solution myself</div>
<div>but it would be good to hear from others that use</div>
<div>ProxMox VE 1.8 in production.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>kind regards,</div>
