If you are creating the backup into a directory, the underlying filesystem must be JFS2 (Enhanced JFS)
Also, you can use the GNU Tar (gtar) that can be installed from the AIX Linux Toolkit CD (or downloaded from IBM / Bullfreeware)

Both dd & backup support file sizes over 2Gb
dd if=<yourfilename> of=/dev/rmt0
