[Box Backup] restore file >2GB

[E.W. Peter Jalajas]

Thanks, Chris.

Would you please give this relative novice 5 lines or so of instructions on how to move my
Ubuntu/Debian server store from v0.10 to your "a recent enough chris/merge on the server".

Something like:
1. sudo killall bbstored
2. Backup everything in /etc/boxbackup/* and /usr/local/bin/bb*
3. svn ...
4. compile ...
5. ...

And also, I'm not sure what do with your "If you backed up a large file with an older client...". 
I'm sure I have some quite large files backed up with the older client in several accounts on my
store server.  I'm not sure if any are >2GB.   (BTW, is that 2GB as measured on the client or on
the store server?)  And so, to delete it from the store, should I exclude it in the bbackupd.conf
and let housekeeping take care of it, or should I just whack it on the server?  

For the record, this is what I'm trying to fix, an Exchange Server ntbackup (until I get my
nascent Shadow Copy tricks working...anybody care to join me on that trek?):

That .bkf is 2.6 GB.

Thanks again!
Pete
