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

It is not the issue with pg_basebackup you are using

​It seems, this issue might be with storage location where you are trying to take backup(i.e. /backup)​

​In addition to this,

Your storage might be having limitations for not accepting file storage of more than 2GB​, hence this error.
