You need a dar. It's support slices, par2 recovery data, compression (gzip, bzip2), encryption and more. http://dar.linux.free.fr/ All features: http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html And just an example from site: "Archived all of his data (in particular a huge web site) in a single, multi-slice dar backup. The result is the biggest archive that I have ever heard about: 1.4 Terabytes using dar 2.0.x and two hundred (!)

Debian has a package called ras: " Ras is a program that adds m extra files to a set of n files, such that the contents of the n original files can be regenerated from any n of the n+m original files and extra files." I never tried it myself. -- Didi = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, I prefer to use command line tools. I don't like the overhead of X on this tasks.

Re: Backup to DVD's
I backup on dvd verbatim and never had a problem. The program I use is k3b. You can split to rar. On k3b you can verify after burning.

Backup to DVD's
Hi, I need to backup large volume to DVD media. I want to be able to put recovery data and to split it to volumes. I prefer to work with regular linux commands. The most important thing is that, if the DVD media will have bad sectors, I will be able to retrieve my data. So I thought of burning each volume 3 times. But I'm looking for an elegant solution. Thanks, Kfir
