Is there a limit to the size of a file that can be backup using TV?.   I have a file that is about 11GB that keeps failing. 

Grateful for any insight.

    Hello Clement,

    I've been told the file size limit is the same as your backup limit. If you have 1 TB of storage, you could theoretically backup a single 1 TB file. The largest file I have backed up is just under 18 GB. It's a backup of a SQL Server Database. I was constantly getting failures trying to backup a live SQL database. TeamViewer just couldn't copy the file while in use. Open files should copy if VSS is working, but if it's a very large file constantly being modified VSS may not even be able to help. I resorted to creating a temporary SQL backup, then backing up the backup to TeamViewer. I now get successful backups most of the time.

    What type of file are you having trouble with?

    TeamViewer user since version 6 (2010). We used other remote software programs (TVNC UVNC PCAny) for many years before.
