It's a backup tar-package of one of my hard drives.
Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do:
- made a backup with tar
- i update it with tar every night
Should I split it somehow to smaller packages or something?
But to my original question:
It seems I hadn't reached any file limits as I'm doing the copy operation
again I have now 6.1G copied :)
