Multi-DVD or (multi-CD) spanning backups with tar
Authored by: ruaric on Jul 12, '05 06:32:02AM

Interesting. Rather than combining the parts back together prior to the restore can hfspax prompt for each new part in the way that tar does? I wouldn't have the space to copy all the parts to my hard disk and cat them together prior to extraction.

I think so, yes. hfspax will prompt you for the new filename when appropriate. Remember to type in the complete path, not just the filename, when hfspax ask your for the next filename. e.g. filename:
 my_backupfile
full path:
/Users/your_home/my_backupfile
or whatever place you prefer, obviously. Cheers E5o
