Description:
i can not backup a table from database with a table larger than 2GB. The mysql-administrator exit silent and leaves a backup file with 2GB.

one thing i noticed is that during the backup the progress bar does not work probably.

currently i backup the same table with windows and mysql-administrator and it works. also the restore under linux works??

i am using the latest mysql-administrator version!

what can i do - i realy need this feature for backup.

How to repeat:
see the description
