huge backup file

In Plesk Linux 8.1.1 is there a limit to backup/restore a big file?

My /var/qmail/mailnames is 50GB in size, so the backup file will be similar, I guess. Does anyone has backed/restored files this big?
Should it work without problems?

(i've been making the backup for 5 hours and it hasnt finished yet, the backup file is 9GB and growing)

The limit is your file system limit (which is 2 TB for ext3 I believe). You might run out of disk space before hitting that though. The backup uses compression so it should take less space than the original files combined.
