Hi,

I sent this request recently but have heard nothing.

I'm new to he whole procedure and may be doing this incorrectly.

Please advise.

Thanks

I saw a reference somewhere to a 2GB file limit when backing up Postgres databases on Linux. I can't remember where I
sawit but our database is nearing 2 GB in size and concerns are creeping in. 

We are running Postgres 7.4 on Redhat AS4.

Is this still a problem or has this been resolved on this version of Linux?

Thanks
WL
