I am looking at creating a simple backup to a remote share of my RH7 linux
box. I tried arring, but it stops at 2G which I found was the limit (the
remote share is via samba smbmount). What's the best way for me to do this,
based on the fact that my system is about 4G of data. I have a 2G file
limit, so the solution must allow me to split files, and it must be easy to
'unsplit' them in the event I need to restore. Also, I have directories I
need to --exclude. Tar -cjvf works find other than the 2G limit, although I
saw posts on google suggest not to use compression as the whole archive
could be lost if any part becomes corrupt.
Suggestions please?
