Ideally one could find a good used DLT tape drive and buy 40Gb tapes for $50 each. I just discovered GNU/Linux has a utility called 'split' which can divide a large file into DVD size chunks. This worked on a 30Gb file I wanted to keep, just not on precious hard disk space:
$ split -b 4400m rf_data will create files xaa xab xac each 4,613,734,400 byte, divisible by 8 for an even boundary on complex data. A 30Gb file fit on 7 DVD's, using an inexpensive writer and disk prices are getting lower all the time. Time consuming but cheap and works. The file is easily reconstructed with $ cat xaa xab xac xad xae xaf xag > rf_data or they will play from the split files. --Chuck _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
