====Howto set the backup file slice size====
The default slice or part setting is 700Mb (to suit CD's).
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
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf/90slice /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf
(the above cp command is all on one line)
Modify the file size & save
pico -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf/90slice
Edit it to read like this
{
($backupwk{Slice} || '1529M') eq '1529M' ? "--slice 1529M\n" : "--slice $backup
}
Then save & exit
Ctrl o
Ctrl x
Then expand the template with
expand-template /etc/dar/DailyBackup.dcf
The next time the backup runs, the resultant backup file will be split into 1.529Gb part sizes.
