tar zcf name_of_file.tgz <directory1> <directory2> <directory3>
I'm trying to do a multi-volume backup to hard drive via gnu tar. It
works with the following command:
gtar -c -L 681574400 -f /usr/local/backup/dev1.tgz -f
/usr/local/backup/dev2.tgz -f /usr/local/backup/dev3.tgz /
But I really, really need this compressed. If I put a -z in the command
it errors out stating:
gtar: Cannot use multi-volume compressed archives
gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Is there any way to do a compressed multi-volume backup, with each
volume being 650mb to hard drive? Either with gtar or any other backup
method.
Thanks,
Cody
