<br>How is best(abd nist reliable) to do this from a recovery point of view also?<br><br>Can someone list the sort of commands I would need to use for this? Should I tar it and then split the tar? (If so please explain how :P)<br>
<br>I have ~20GB data and a pack of 10 DVDs.<br><br>Any help VERY much appreciated as I have to backup tonight as my laptop goes tomorrow. (Yes I would have done this sooner but my external drive has become lost in shipping or something like
