Hi, I seem to get into the habit of answering my questions myself, so I have to just stop posting them :)
One last question nevertheless: is this the right way to split files that are larger than a cdr and to put them together again? (the cat command is listed as text-utility in my book) to create a multi volume archive: - tar -czf largeFiles (produces one mega large file) - split -b 680m largeFile (this produces files (xa, xb, xc... ) each with filesize 680 Mb) - burn each part on cd. To restore I would do: - copy all parts to the same dir on HD - cat x* > allMyLargeFiles.tar.gz - tar -xzf allMyLargeFiles.tar.gz Is this the correct way? Does cat work correctly everytime (I just tested it twice and it worked perfectly)? Is there a simpler way? Someone mentioned that tar can create multi volume files itself - but I could not figure out how to create those (in the end I just got one strange looking file on my HD) Patrik
