      To reproduce:
      1. Start with moodle install with a 2GB file upload limit
      2. Enable the .tgz backup format
      3. Generate a bunch of large test files (I did ones between 1GB and 1.5GB)
      4. Create a new course, set the upload limit to 2GB
      5. Upload a bunch of large files (I went to 7.5GB)
      6. Run admin/cli/automated_backups.php
      7. If the problem doesn't happen, perform some activities in the course and try again.

      Results:
      automated_backup prints "Backing up YOURCOURSE...", waits a long while, then the entire job exits with nothing printed out.

      Expected result:
      automated_backup successfully backs up the course and proceeds to back up any other courses requiring a backup.
      In particular: failure of a single backup should never cause the entire job to fail.

      I recreated this on a test moodle install with full developer debugging, and here is the end of the output of a run that reproduces this bug:
