This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --bound1118350508 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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.
