Facing problem in taking pg_basebackup . 

File Reaches till 2 GB then failes and give below error

pg_basebackup: could not write to compressed file "/backup//base.tar.gz": File too large

Command : 

pg_basebackup -h127.0.0.1 -U base_backup_user -D /backup/inc_backup -Ft -z -P

 

Are you writing the backup to a FAT32 file system? Those have a max individual file size limit of about 2GB.
