Simple python script designed to be a helper to k3b/growisofs. If you have a large directory you want backed up to CD/DVD, then dsplit splits the directory into multiple CD/DVD sized directories. (The output of dsplit consists of directories named vol-%2d, which are hard linked to portions of the source directory. Thus your precious source is left untouched, and the dsplit output consumes almost no space.

USAGE

dsplit [options] src dst

Splits src into CD/DVD sized sub-directories. Output is in vol-%2d subdirs of dst, and by default the files are hard-linked to the source (so they consume no space).

OPTIONS

-s size, --volume-size=size

Size of each volume in MB (default 4400MB)

--for-dvd

Set volume size for DVD (4400MB)

--for-dvd2

Set volume size for double layer DVD (8080MB)

--for-cd

Set volume size for CD (680MB)

-v

Verbose (print all subdirectories included in volumes)

-V

Very verbose (print all files included too)
