Changes

The slice size can be changed for example to suit 4.7Gb DVD's, by making 3 parts fit on to a DVD, so the required slice size is 1529Mb (allowing for overheads & real data size).

Create the custom template fragment

Set the Slice size in the config DB

  config setprop backupwk Slice 1529M

 

(the above cp command is all on one line)

 

  nano -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf/90slice

 

($backupwk{Slice} || '1529M') eq '1529M' ?  "--slice 1529M\n" : "--slice $backup"

 

Then expand the template with

Then expand the template with

  expand-template /etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf

  expand-template /etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf

The next time the backup runs, the resultant backup file will be split into 1.529Gb part sizes.
