I am trying to use tar in order to create several 600 MBish size tar files so I can then burn these tar files to CD. This may be put into a script file later and set to run in the middle of the night when no-one is using the server.
I have tried
tar -cv L 50 M f /hdd2/Tar1.tar /start/directory
but I am not prompted for the next file name to be used.
Is this something that can be accomplished using tar, or do I need to look at other programs, or perhaps writing a script to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
