Backing up a doomsday disc? I can't think of anything else that's going to
be that huge.

I suppose you (or someone else) could write a 32-bit ANFS for the master
and use it with Advanced Level 4 (if anyone had a copy of that - I think
it supported long files), but that's probably a bit too much work.
