copied!<p>You can use the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/split-invocation.html" rel="noreferrer"><code>split</code></a> command with the <code>-b</code> option:</p> <pre><code>split -b 1024m file.tar.gz </code></pre> <p>It can be reassembled on a Windows machine using @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1120095/split-files-using-tar-gz-zip-or-bzip2/1120121#1120121">Joshua</a>'s answer.</p> <pre><code>copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 + file4 filetogether </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: As @Charlie stated in the comment below, you might want to set a prefix explicitly because it will use <code>x</code> otherwise, which can be confusing.</p> <pre><code>split -b 1024m "file.tar.gz" "file.tar.gz.part-" // Creates files: file.tar.gz.part-aa, file.tar.gz.part-ab, file.tar.gz.part-ac, ... </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: Editing the post because question is closed and the most effective solution is very close to the content of this answer:</p> <pre><code># create archives $ tar cz my_large_file_1 my_large_file_2 | split -b 1024MiB - myfiles_split.tgz_ # uncompress $ cat myfiles_split.tgz_* | tar xz </code></pre> <p>This solution avoids the need to use an intermediate large file when (de)compressing. Use the tar -C option to use a different directory for the resulting files. btw if the archive consists from only a single file, tar could be avoided and only gzip used:</p> <pre><code># create archives $ gzip -c my_large_file | split -b 1024MiB - myfile_split.gz_ # uncompress $ cat myfile_split.gz_* | gunzip -c > my_large_file </code></pre> <p>For windows you can download ported versions of the same commands or use cygwin.</p>
