I use rsync to backup my server. On this server are acronis-images, some
of them > 2 GB. They give me an error:

ERROR: home/ldb/Images/laptop.tib failed verification -- update discarded.

This image-file is 12GB, and there are more images in this dir, they also
are not copied (but this error is the only one). Only images smaller than
2 GB are synced.
