@MaximoTrinidad Please specify what is a size of the source data?
According to the documentation, limit is 2 Gb.

Ah!! Thanks @iSazonov
Sorry! I should have checked for the size limitation.
Closed the incident.

Greatly Appreciated,
Maximo Trinidad

@MaximoTrinidad the 2GB limit is an unfortunately limitation of the .Net api being used. There is an open issue for Zip64 support: https://github.com/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive/issues/19
