Is it possible to backup/write a directory whose size is around 1.3 Gb to 2 CD-R's without having to split the data into 2 separate components?
In other words much like the way 'DOS backup' used to write to 'multiple floppies'.
That would be nice to have - or a pcbackup even better :-)
Well, you can create a compressed cdrom (zisofs) - depending on your data, it might fit on a single CD. Or, you need to create a tar from the directory, and split the file in two.
Would tar -L/--tape-length=N work? man tar says it changes tapes after writing N*1024 bytes. -- Vic Ayres
