1) have a file generated on a slave 8.76GB which shall be archived on master
2) smaller files around 6.37GB are archived from slave to master without problems
3) during the archiving of the 8.76GB file the following exception occurred, the file didn't make it on the master and the job was marked as failed, filename on master archive looks strange with all those cryptic symbols - file can be copied with other tools from slave to master without problems
