====Backup to desktop 4GB limit====
As in previous versions of SME Server, the backup to desktop function has a limit of 4GB. It's not fixable until we know where the limit or limits are. All these components are involved in transferring the backup file, and at least one of them is truncating at 4GB: tar, perl, mod_proxy, apache, TCP stack, browser at desktop end. See this bug listing for details [[bugzilla:701]]

In SME 7.4 the 4GB limit is effective when using Windows Internet Explorer, however using a browser such as Mozilla's Firefox the 4 GB does not apply and 180 GB has been successfully achieved in a backup-to-desktop.
