title: gzip: stdout: File too large when running customized backup script
body: <p>I've create a plain and siple backup script that only backs up certain files and folders.</p>
  
  <pre><code>tar -zcf $DIRECTORY/var.www.tar.gz /var/www
  tar -zcf $DIRECTORY/development.tar.gz /development
  tar -zcf $DIRECTORY/home.tar.gz /home
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now this script runs for about 30mins then gives me the following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>gzip: stdout: File too large
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any other solutions that I can use to backup my files using shell scripting or a way to solve this error? I'm grateful for any help.</p>
