Hi
I have a single large file 11gb that I need to copy/backup to tape then restore on another system. I tried tar but that complained about the file being too large
Anyone have any suggestions how I can do this with AIX 5.2
Much appreciated.
Have you tried cpio ?
This was helpful for me:
In addition to what is in the mentioned thread you could also try the following:
tar -cvf - <yourfile> | gzip -9 <name_of_resultfile>
Unpack it by:
gzip -cd <name_of_resultfile> | tar -xvf -
