Maximum file size is 4GB,  my "My Documents" directory in Windows is 
8GB, and I use the Windows Backup Utility, which isn't very sophisticated.

I suppose I could back it up to my NTFS volume, then zip/rar it as 4GB 
volumes...   also it seems silly to have that limitation, of 4GB.

You're right, I'm not worried about journaling etc, it's mirror...
