We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

7zip: If I have a full 10TB HDD, and I want to backup it all to 2 older 4TB HDDs as archive parts (alien.top)

How do I do that? Is it possible to tell 7zip that it should save the first part(s) to the first hdd, and then continue with other part(s) on the second? Without giving errors that it ran out of space on the first one?

Have you weeded out or linked any duplicate files first? Might save you some room.
