[Box Backup] Exception: Connection Protocol_ObjTooBig (7/42) ?

Sorry, it looks like I was wrong that you could use an unmodified server. 
Patch 1586 affects the server sending back the contents of files over 2GB 
compressed. Without this patch, you will almost certainly get data 
corruption when restoring such files.

Please could you try running 1694 (or later) for both client and server, 
preferably both on the Red Hat system, as it's easiest for me to reproduce 
any problems on this system rather than OSX (which I don't have). Please 
could you try backing up, comparing and restoring your large file with 
this combination?

Cheers, Chris.
