Mac Forum / General / General / September 2007Help wanted with CD burning
I'm running OSX10.9.3 on a Mac G4 with CD/RW. I have a file of 4GB size that I would like to put on multiple CD's in sequence. Is there a way to do this. I have Toast 6 {OSX} on the HD. Any help is appreciated. Jack > I'm running OSX10.9.3 on a Mac G4 with CD/RW. I have a file of 4GB > size that I would like to put on multiple CD's in sequence. Is there > a way to do this. A quick search at macupdate.com and versiontracker.com disclosed pif splitter <http://www.noixdecroco.com/htm/appli.php?lang=en> and Splitter <http://www.thepropellerheads.com/software/splitter/splitter.html> The documentation for Splitter reveals that there is a BSD command called "split" which will let you do this from the command line.

There are a few products that will do "multi-volume" backup of files across CDs or DVDs. Retrospect -- commercial backups software formerly from DANTZ (now from EMC). If you use this to backup stuff, you'll also need it to restore it. You could conceivably create a segmented PAX archive via the command line and burn the parts to CDR using Toast. Are you up for that? Here's some links on MacOS X backups. Most of them discuss backing up whole systems, not large files. You may well be SOL on this but alternately, you could buy a DVD writer. They're relatively cheap for desktops. Try Small Dog Electronics. http://www.bombich.com/mactips/image.html http://blog.plasticsfuture.org/2006/03/05/the-state-of-backup-and-cloning -tools-under-mac-os-x/ http://blog.plasticsfuture.org/2006/04/23/mac-backup-software-harmful/ Note that most of the backup testing was under 10.4 which limits what you can use under 10.3.

Actually Toast 8 will do that - it splits large (quantities of) files to multiple disks and adds a "recovery" tool on each disk. If you insert one of the disks you can double-click the tool, select the file(s) you want to copy back and then it will prompt you to insert the required disks in sequence. > >> I'm running OSX10.9.3 on a Mac G4 with CD/RW.

Plus it seems slower to me on my Dual 1GHz G4. I went back to Toast 7 and am there to stay. SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO!

Yeah, the 'eye candy' of the interface certainly is noticeably slower, I don't think burning speed is adversely affected though (I'm also using a Dual 1GHz G4).

Toast 7 supports multi-disc backups too. Select "Data" and set the format to "Mac Only". Also set the disc type popup (next to the "burn" button" to the type of disc you'll be using (CD, DVD, or DVD DL). As you add files to the Toast window, the left drawer will tell you how many discs it'll need. > I'm running OSX10.9.3 on a Mac G4 with CD/RW.

Retrospect Backup If the files are music files or something else iTunes knows, iTunes. Newer versions of Toast can do this. I don't know about v6. Going to VersionTracker and doing a search on 'backup cd' will be helpful. Signatureemail to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com. > > I'm running OSX10.9.3 on a Mac G4 with CD/RW.

Thanks Fellows for your help. God Bless! Jack |
