▲ 1 ▼ 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) submitted 2 years ago by Poonker@alien.top [B] to c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum 5 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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?

Here is a website with more information: https://www.thewebhelp.com/linux/creating-multivolume-tar-files/ Or something like this would also work, but it requires the split command which I don't think is available on Windows: https://superuser.com/a/290990 permalink fedilink source
