Hello!

Can we expect this feature to be back in soon ?

No, I'm sorry, there are no plans to bring back the tar.gz format.

The tar format is not hard to work with, but the gz part is a memory hog and is very difficult to work with under php. In addition, it uses a third party library. We know there is a bug in it regarding file names containing spaces. So the options are to fix someone else's library or Nicholas has to write his own. Either way, that would burn a lot of development time on a feature that not many of our users use.

Hello!

That explain why it so fast even with 2.2 gig test I ran, no problem can alway change the archive to upload and extract If I want too

Be careful of a 2.2 Gb archive! On a 32 bit operating system, there is a 2 Gb file size limit. If your backup is greater than 2 Gb, you need to split the archive so that each piece is less than 2 Gb. The current kickstart can't handle a backup where the total size is greater than 2 Gb, those files require special handling.

Be careful of a 2.2 Gb archive! On a 32 bit operating system, there is a 2 Gb file size limit.

Oh I have no worry my server has 8 gig of ram 4 core and 64 bit OS was only a test and was fast took only 6 1/2 min.

OK, 64 bit operating systems have a ridiculously high file size limit.

So far happy with result thank you for this new release.
