So I have a nearly full 4 TB hard drive in my server that I want to make an offline backup of. However, the only spare hard drives I have are a few 500 GB and 1 TB ones, so the entire contents will not fit all at once, but I do have enough total space for it. I also only have one USB hard drive dock so I can only plug in one...
Im going to say that doesnt exist and restoring from it would be a nightmare. You could cobble together a shell or python script that does that though.
You’re better off just getting a drive bay and plugging all the drives in at once as an LVM.
You could also do the opposite, which is split the 4TB into the different logical volumes. Each the same size as a drive.
Do you understand that the primary barriers being referred to here are intellectual property? I suspect you aren’t in favor of propritarian intellectualism. What do you think those racist academies opinions on intellectual property has been?
What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?
