I have never tested with a backup file that large. I think the largest I've tested with is about 3.5 GB. Can you view the backup under File->View/Extract Backup? I just want to make sure the companion is capable of reading all of the data correctly. It sounds like what may be happening is that most of the files are being transferred (or the companion thinks it's transferred them) but the tablet is getting hung up on something and never finishing. Out of curiousity, how much space do you have available on the tablet? You are correct about the 4 GB file size limit on Android. I haven't yet devised a way to split up backup files into several parts so that a backup can be made and restored on the tablet if the total size is over 4GB. That's on my list of things to do.
The backup restore does work off the cloud, but it's implemented in such a way that it first must copy the backup file to the tablet before extracting it. Only the companion app is designed to stream the data back and forth with the tablet app. I think we are going to need to figure out what is going on so that you can properly restore that backup file. I may need to work on generating a 5GB backup file so I can test the same way you are. It may take me awhile to put that together though as the directories storing all of my scores only amounts to 3.96GB.
