Backing up and restoring large files

A DBA on one of my AIX systems has created a datafile that is 6 GB (yes, 6 GB). My backup program will back up files that big, but when it tries to restore them, it won't restore the entire file.

Any suggestions?
 
YOUR only choice I believe is the backup or mksysb or savevg commands that
use the backup and restore commands....

Additional file formats also prevent files of their type from being larger than 2 gigabytes. These include some archiving utilities restricted in format by industry standards, such as the cpio, pax, and tar (you can archive large files with backup) commands, and the object file archive format, restricting the ar command.
