[Samba] Backup from Linux onto Win2K-share

Hi.

I'm running Kernel 2.4.19 and Samba 2.2.5.

I'm in need to do a backup out of big SAPDB database (60 GB)
onto a share on a Win2K-box (all my databases have to backup
onto this w2K-box where they get saved on tape).

This works fine as long as it comes to 2 GB. Than it stops with
the message "file size exceeded". Obviously there is a file size limit
somewhere in Samba.

How can I get rid of it? I've tried to use a different kernel (2.4.22)
and I compiled as well as new Samba 3.0.1 from source (on a
different machine). But I still have the problem. Whats wrong?

(PS: NFS has a limit as well; 4 GB. But I need "unlimited" sizes)
