Error creating solution. The maximum total file size limit

Dear Folks,

I am trying to save site as template and I am getting below error.

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Error creating solution. The maximum total file size limit (50000000 bytes) has been exceeded. 

at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSolutionExporter.GenerateSolutionFiles() 

I have tried increasing the max-template-document-size as well as large-file-chunk-size

but no luck..

there are a few issues I'm running into with Sharepoint Online (Office365 E3)

I noticed in Sharepoint Online Powershell there is no Export or Import Command. So I am stuck with saving a Site Collection as a template in order to clone the site so we can use the template as a sandbox....or to take backups...so we must include all Content to be backed up.

With this being said...I can't save the site as a template because of this error...

Sorry, something went wrong

Error creating solution. The maximum total file size limit (52428800 bytes) has been exceeded.

Technical Details

Go Back to Site

So MS is saying that the largest site collection template can only be 52MB....surely I'm missing something here...

I can save the large backup template on a local hard drive...but I don't see this option anywhere.

the sharepoint online powershell commands are missing export, import and backup....it looks like Sharepoint 2013 Server Powershell is far superior.
