Re: tar of file 5GB

Yes, you must install Gnu Tar 1.13.25 on the server you are restoring to.

Re: tar of file 5GB

That's what I said, I think! You'll have to use the 1.13.25 version of tar to restore the file on the other server. If it's not already installed, you will have to install it.

Re: tar of file 5GB

Hello!

Yes you must use the version that you made a tar for open it so you need to work with tar1.13.25 that you used!

Also if you will have a newest version it also should work because of the suport backware.

Re: tar of file 5GB

!!! IMPORTANT: THESE EXAMPLES ONLY WORK IN KORN SHELL (KSH) !!!

Use the UNIX pipe and split commands:

Export command:

echo|exp file=>(split -b 1024m - expdmp-) userid=scott/tiger tables=X

Note: You can put any "exp" parameters. This is working only in ksh

Import command:

echo|imp file=<(cat expdmp-*) userid=scott/tiger tables=X

Splitting and compressing at the same time:

Export command:

echo|exp file=>(compress|split -b 1024m - expdmp-) userid=scott/tiger tables=X

Import command:

echo|imp file=<(cat expdmp-*|zcat) userid=scott/tiger tables=X
