Hi Sivan,
in your blog-posting (http://sivang.blogspot.com/2007/10/hubackup-and-rdiff-backup-or-how-i.html) you wrote: > "Moreover, Using rdiff-backup, I now think of just letting it create its "meta data" (reverse diff) along side the already existing directories the user wants to backup, which will *greatly* reduce space overhead when backing up (essentially just burning the folders to the optical media together with the special information for restoring the permissions and other file attributes). Now, given that I need to explore how to slice up backup data to fit in more then one optical medium." here's a python-script which "can be used to create archives on CD, DVD or other backup media": http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/MakeArchive Usage: makearchive /path/to/backup/tree /required/path/to/snapshot/ [maximum size in bytes] and here's a ruby-script 'SplitRdiffBackup' to figure out how to split rdiff-backup archives: http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/SplitRdiffBackup If you could support rdiff-backup (as alternative back-end to DAR) this would be great!
