Hi!
I want to create some backup archives with python (I want to write a backup
application in Python).
Some package managers (7z, arj, winzip) can create splitted archives (1
mega, 650, 700 mega, etc).
Because I want to ftp these results to a ftp server, I want to split large
volumes to 15 mb sections.
Can I do it with any python wrapper automatically (like in Cobian), or I
need to create the large volume, and next split it with another tool?
Or anybody knows about a command line tool (like 7z, or arj) that can expand
the splitted archive (and I can add files with them from Python one by one)?
If you are iterating through a list of files to be backed up, and
adding them to a ZIP one-by-one then you could use something like this
which adds each file until the zip is over 15mb - then it closes the
ZIP and creates the next one.
Not tested or optimised :)

import zipfile
archive_num = 1
outfile = zipfile.ZipFile('/zips/archive%s.zip' % archive_num, "w")
zsize = 0
for full_name in filelist:
full_name_path = os.path.join(full_name, full_path)
if zsize > 15728640 : # 15mb
outfile.close()
archive_num += 1
outfile = zipfile.ZipFile('/zips/archive%s.zip' % archive_num, "w")
zsize= 0
outfile.write( full_name_path , full_name_path ,
zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) # add the file
zsize += outfile.getinfo(full_name_path).compress_size # get
compressed size of file
outfile.close()
