They seem to have an explanation on the webpage:

http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=44998

The 4GB limit is due to Qt3 limits on 32-bit architectures. They don't
mention if it affects also 64-bit systems.

But in other news there, they seem to have released kbackup 0.6 just a
month ago, which incidentally among other things removes the 4GB limit:

"- Port to cmake and KDE4/Qt4, which also removes the 4GB limit per
file"
