I think it's not a problem related to xarchiver itself but to the zip executable:

Core was generated by `zip -r /media/Daten/Ubuntu VM Kopie.zip Ubuntu Kopie'.
 Program terminated with signal 25, File size limit exceeded.

Anyone can give more info on this?

Hi,

This is related to Bug #70846 (and for the moment, this in a "Won't Fix" at least in Debian).
