Hi all,
A user came to me this morning asking me to restore a folder which turns out to
be some 8,5GB.
Not initially knowing how big it actually was, using BPC I downloaded it in a
zipped and uncompressed format to my Windows machine, then transferred the zip
to her linux machine running 32b CentOS v5.6. Uncompression failed.
Googling a bit I found out 32b linux is limited to 2GB per file on
account of the file system. 8GB is a lot more than 2GB, so this would explain
the uncompression failing.
So, my question is a two-parter:
1. How would I best deal with really big archives when restoring from BPC and
32b linux is involved?
2. Wouldn't a zip-split function be a nice thing to have in BPC when restoring
data? This is a hint to the BPC-author. 8-)
Thanks.
