i have a test environment with subversion, im making DUMP files (20GB) and then compressing it. It gives me 12GB file, but with over 500 fragments. Question is, is there a way to archive file into one file-piece? 7-zip, winrar or anything?

Thanks

  • How are you compressing it now? – MadHatter May 09 '13 at 15:55
  • testing winrar: rar m -rr -t "c:\Backup\svnroot_%date%.rar" "c:\Backup\*.dump" – Alex May 10 '13 at 07:38
  • Ah, OK, this is a MS Windows question. I have re-tagged it, but knowing nothing about MS Windows, I can't help; sorry. If you try this under Linux, `gzip`/`bzip2` will compress a file *in situ* without splitting it up. – MadHatter May 10 '13 at 08:53
  • So no way for Windows? :) – Alex May 13 '13 at 12:34
  • Alex, this question might get better response on superuser.com. If you'd like it transferred there, flag a moderator (via the "flag" link) and ask for it to be transferred. – MadHatter May 13 '13 at 12:39

I know its not a direct answer but the fact is that the correct answer is:

500 fragments for a 12gb file is absolutely irrelevant. It would be cruel to allow Alex to continue on this rather obscure project
