I have about 500MB of data in the files dir. traditional tools error out if I try to create a backup of that. Will this split the zip's into multiple archives in order to bypass php timeouts and various restrictions (cpu, filesize, ect...) in place by the webhost?

im not able to answer this question now
the pclzip library that is used for this module is not purposing this option or i cannot see it in the code or on the website : http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/man/en/index.php?toc
maybe this needs to use another external library
i have seen some on the net but i dont know one really good
if you have an idea, this can be interesting to test or to build another module for that

the pclzip author told me that the new version called 2.7 is managing big files for zipping using a temporary folder instead of building zip in memory
maybe you can test with this new version
http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/index.php#download
the next version (2..8) wiould be able to manage big files for unzipping

it would be great to make this module auto-zip folder-attachments to nodes using tokens.
For example i have gallery assist with many galleries, each one for one node. So how can i auto-add zip files to these nodes so that these zip-files contain all the images from this node?

this is not the good place to ask for this question (here is an issue queue about the files size limits :) )
but
have you tried this module http://drupal.org/project/pclzip_zip_node_files ?

i am sorry for wrong topic, yes i tried all the pclzip modules. no good for gallery assist... so i just decided not to use gallery assist and made views-gallery with imagefield.
