This used to be the case but the limitation has been lifted somewhere in 5.x (can't remember the exact version). There is still a 8GB limit (for individual files, not the archive) in place because of the UStar (Uniform Standard Tape Archive) standard.

To make it as clear as i am able to put it: posting links is not forbidden at all, but practically limited by the following "rule": as long as the primary goal of the link is conceivably to help the thread owner / general audience all is fine. If it looks like the primary intention was not so much help but (self)-promotion the moderators will act.

As we (the moderators) are people we try our best but are not above error. I (and i am sure the other team members see it similarly) have no problem revising wrong decisions once i learn better. On the other hand i do this job for more than 6 years now and if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then in most cases it is a duck.

I have told you so in a PM and i repeat it here publicly: i welcome any sincere effort to help others and i am especially glad when the board i work for is attractive for experts like you. So as long as i see this sincere effort to help i am willing to cut you any slack you need to carry out this help. Right now i don't have the feeling you are overusing this, so i see no reason to act. Once this feeling of mine changes you will be the first one to know.

virt-tar-out(1) 					      Virtualization Support						   virt-tar-out(1)

NAME
virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball. SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball. The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory. The second parameter is the tar file to write. Use "-" to write to standard output. EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a guest: virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly. OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options. SEE ALSO
guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), http://libguestfs.org/. AUTHORS
