Hi Guruz!!!

I have made a incremental backup script which is backuping the some important files on the server. /etc... , /usr..., /var/lib/mysql

I am using bz2 as file compression. after bz2 i am splitting the files in to different parts as per the size of the bz2.( if itsgreater than 256m then i am splitting the files.)

but now my stupid question i have split the files but i want to combine that split files in to one single file and then untar that .bz2

e.g.

abc.tar.bz2.xa
abc.tar.bz2.xb
abc.tar.bz2.xc
abc.tar.bz2.xd
abc.tar.bz2.xe
abc.tar.bz2.xf

now want to combine these file in to single archive for rstoring the backup... but i am stuk at this point

can any one help me to figure out???

Thanks

Why split and then combine again?

Well, you can try this:

Code:

tar cvf abd.tar.bz2.tar abc.tar.bz2.x?
