Courses > 2GB not backing up

Our nightly automated course backup is failing when it reaches a large course (> 2 GB), ie, moodle cannot create a zip file greater than 2GB.

PHP uses the libzip library to perform zip/unzip.
libzip 0.11.0 supports large files, but will not be bundled with PHP until PHP v5.6

Is there a way to tell moodle to skip a (active) course during the automated backup?
This seems like our only option until PHP 5.6 is available. (latest PHP version is 5.5 RC3)
