Hmm Well...

I successfully backed up the database - which created a 6.7 GB ZIP file

The funny thing is, that ZIP really doesn't support such big files... so when i open the file, i'm told that the compressed size is 27.488.205.936.961 KB :D
and that the size is 93.720.790 KB...

eventhough, is decompress fine (disregarding windows glitches)
