Marco,

Well, that's very interesting, but it also makes sense. For 1.2.3,  
we've switched compilers and updated Python on Windows to fix the bug  
which prevented files larger than 4gb from being backed-up.

What platform are you running on? (Please be very specific, 32-bit or  
64bit? exact version of Windows? etc.)
