To limit the size of
a transferable file over the network for successful backup of the Communication Manager Messaging data, in the Download size for the data being
transferred field, type a value from 1 through 200.
The value must be less than or equal to the maximum file transfer
size allowed on the network. The resulting backup image comprises
one or more files that do not exceed the specified size. For example,
if you set the download size to 5, the size of the data is 500 MB.

Communication Manager Messaging downloads and processes each backup file sequentially
before downloading the next backup file in the data set.

the system displays only the meta tar backup file on the View / Restore Data page.
