Hi, I’m new to Linux and appreciate your advice…
I need to restrict the size of a tar file. I’m running Red Hat 9.
There are about 30 dirs within the home dir that I need to tar, and backup to dvd on a weekly basis.
Is there a way to tell linux to start tarring the folders until the tar reaches a certain size, then start another tar file and so on?
I’ve also thought of telling linux to copy files in a range (like A* – M*), but the dash doesn’t seem to work. Is that even possible?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
Scarlet
