Tar and gzip
Here is the scenario:

1. I have a 5.7 GB log which i want to archive. However, my problem is the hdisk has no more space available.

Solution i want to have :

a. create a backup of the file through tar/gzip command but will have a limit of 100MB/file or depending on the maximum limit i will set. It will prompt me that it reached the limit. From there, i can transfer the first file to my local machine and continue creating the next file gz.

ndmp

ndmp(4) 							   File Formats 							   ndmp(4)

NAME

       ndmp - configuration properties for Solaris Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) server

DESCRIPTION

       The behavior of the Solaris NDMP server is specified by property values that are stored in the Service Management Facility, smf(5).

       An authorized user can use the ndmpadm(1M) command to set global values for these properties in SMF.

       You can set the following properties by using the ndmpadm set command:

       backup-quarantine       Backup the files marked as quarantined by AV. Acceptable values are yes or no. The default is no.

       dar-support	       Set the Direct Access Recovery mode. Acceptable values are yes or no. The default is no.

       debug-level	       Set the debug level. The debug-level can be set to either 0 (off) or 1 (on). The default is 0.

       debug-path	       The path to which to save the debug log. The default is /var/ndmp.

       dump-pathnode	       Enable  or  disable  backing  up the directories containing modified files or directories in dump(1) backup format.
			       Acceptable values are yes or no. The default is no.

       ignore-ctime	       Determines whether the change timestamp (ctime) of files and directories is used to determine whether a file should
			       be  backed  up  in level backup. If this parameter is set to yes, only the modification time (mtime) of the file or
			       directory determines whether it should be backed up. Acceptable values are yes or no. The default value is no.

       overwrite-quarantine    Restore quarantined files on top of current files if they already exist. Acceptable  values  are  yes  or  no.  The
			       default value is no.

       restore-quarantine      Restore the files that had been marked as quarantined by AV and are backed up. Acceptable values are yes or no. The
			       default value is no.

       tar-pathnode	       Enable or disable backing up the directories containing modified files or  directories  in  tar(1)  backup  format.
			       Acceptable values are yes or no. The default value is no.

       token-maxseq	       Set  the  maximum sequence number for subsequent token-based incremental backup in NDMP-V4. The default value is 9.
			       There are two limits for this value: soft-limit, which is 59, and hard-limit, equal to 64. If  the  token  sequence
			       number,	passed	by the DMA, is between the soft and hard limits, a warning message is issued to the DMA. The token
			       sequence number can never exceed the hard-limit value.

       version		       Set the maximum active NDMP protocol version. Valid values are currently 2, 3, and 4. The default is 4.

       The following property can only be set when using the ndmpadm enable or ndmpadm disable command:

       auth-type    Sets the password encryption type for the authentication of local users. Valid values are cram-md5 or cleartext.
