limitations of FAT, I recommend using tar(1) and split(1).
tar cfC - /filesystem-to-back-up . | split -b 2000m
that will produce a tar file split into 2GB chunks named xaa, xab, xac,
etc. to restore:
cat x?? | tar xfC - /directory-to-restore-into .
Great idea. Thanks, that should do the trick.
this assumes that NetBSD tar and split are substantially similar to
OpenBSD's.
I'll report if I found it doesn't.
Cheers!
