    From a recoverability standpoint it be not be advisable to utilize large virtual tapes due to the time it takes to download.

    I think it's a practical limit, because backing to the cloud with larger files can make restore of just one object slower when using BRMS, and there's a maximum file size limit un most clouds.
    That being said, I think this limit should be tunable .
    If You use your own script instead of BRMS maybe you could take a look at awscli or S3CMD Open Source alternatives.
