Hi I have found another issue with non splitted signatures, currently there is a limit as of 2GB for strings in python 2.4 and for me it is only half of my signatures.

This means that my signatures files in full backup does contain only 49% of my files, first incremental backup takes additional 49% of files, and finally in the second incremental backup last 2% is saved in signatures.

For me signatures should be splitted into array collecting strings of max volsize, and the same restoring them can not occur into single string, it should be done using array as during collection. This solution should overcome limitation of 2GB and allow it work correctly.
