[newbie] archiving to multi volumes
welcome newbie, can someone sugest nice script for making tar arcives with given size from given folder, presuming that data in folder is more than given volume size; that volumes must be independet form each other (no file spliting); that volume name is smart (e.g. vol1.tar; vol2.tar vol3.tar; ...) maybe I'm thinking in the wrong direction, then please enlighten me :) the idea is to make tar arcives for storing to dvd, except storing will be done once in a month, but archiving should be perfomed more or less every night. so there will be hard copy and daily backup. force, my friend, is violence! hugenots [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
