I would like to burn CDs containing copies of virtual machine disk images. These image files are larger than 700Mb. Does anyone know of a way to archive a large file so that I can burn a portion of the file to a CD and the remaining portion onto a second CD. If I do this, how do I restore the original file.
"tar" has options to directly split archive on several files (tapes he calls them...) that I used some time ago with success.
Or you can create a single huge .tar file, then use "split" to ...split it and "cat" to reassemble.
Probably the first option is better if you don't have extra space on the hd to build the whole tar image.
