Maximum file size for operations

The maximum file size depends on the type of a file system. The Tivoli® Storage Manager client does not check any file size limit during backup, archive, restore, or retrieve operations.

If the file system allows creation of the file, the Tivoli Storage Manager client backs up or archives the file.

The following table specifies the maximum file sizes for the native file systems on Tivoli Storage Manager UNIX and Linux client platforms.
