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 _______________________________________________ You'll need to use the -M flag as well to indicate a multi-volume tarball. >From what I can tell from the man page, a -L doesn't imply multi-volume. -- Micheal Patterson Senior Communications Systems Engineer 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
