Split Tar archive over Blu-Ray
by ArchiveMyData from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4V0J1)
Hi friends,
I have several TBs of photos that are copied to multiple hard drives for redundancy. I want to make a Blu-Ray archive of them as well.
My photos are arranged chronologically by year. I'm considering making a Tar archive of a year (ex: 2018/ is 225GB) and then using the split command to cut it up into ~25GB sized chunks to burn to Blu-Ray for cold storage. My only hesitation is that if one of the discs goes bad, I would lose the entire year of photos potentially as there would be no parity in this approach.
I welcome all suggestions on a better way to do this. Manually adding up folder sizes to burn isn't too appealing. Thanks for your time!
