I have a tarball archive, about 55Gb gzipped. I am going to copy it over to a Windows Home Server for redundant (mirrored directory) backup...
My question: Should I leave it as one huge file, break it up into smaller chunks using "split" (say, 1gb each), or...?
And, yeah, I know I could squeeze a little more space out of that tar file with rar or 7zip, but it's only about 6% (I've tried), and that doesn't really affect the basic question...
Thanks.
