I want to backup a server's /home drive and the tar file is over 5gigs... Windows will not allow a file that large and it is a window machine I wanna back it up to... If I can break it apart in chunks it will. Pkzip will do what I want on a windows machine.. IE pkzip -r -p -v1440 or what ever it was... and there is a way with the tar utility.. I just forget how PLEASE LEMME KNOW! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
