Hi

We are using an old backup product which can only backup files < 2GB.
Now we have a mysql file > 2GB. The backup product refuse to backup
that file.

So, whats the alternatives to perform backup for this situation?
This is current idea:

Tar all the mysql directory and split into small files < 2GB.

Any suggestions?
