Backups too CD
I've been handed the task of backing up some of our system files on a Solaris box. No probs. Zipped the logs that needed backing up but my superiors do not want it on tape, they want it spanned on CD's. The CD-Writer is available on a MS box. FTP'd the zipped logs across too the MS Machine but now i need too span this 20+ GB of data onto CD.
Problem 1. How too span this over multiple CD'z. ( Does winzip support this ? )
Problem 2. Easiest method too rebuild.
If anyone knows a better way too go about this it would be much appreciated. I know this is not a purely unix post but i'm taking a chance as i have too have this done asap.

exporter::easiest
Exporter::Easiest(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Exporter::Easiest(3pm)
NAME
Exporter::Easiest - Takes even more drudgery out of Exporting symbols
SYNOPSIS
In module YourModule.pm:
package YourModule;
use Exporter::Easiest q(
EXPORT => :tag1
OK => munge frobnicate
:tag1 => a b c
:tag2 => :tag1 d e f
FAIL => f g h
);
In other files which wish to use YourModule:
use ModuleName qw(frobnicate); # import listed symbols
frobnicate ($left, $right) # calls YourModule::frobnicate
DESCRIPTION
The Exporter::Easiest module is a wrapper around Exporter::Easy. It allows you to pass the arguments into Exporter::Easy without all those
tiresome []s and qw()s. You pass arguments in as a string or an array of strings. You no longer need to bracket lists or take references.
If want, you can also leave out the TAGS key and just put tag definitions along with the other keys.
The important thing to remember is that tags should be preceded by ':' everywhere, including to the left of the '=>', otherwise it'll get
confused. And don't worry I haven't done something horribly pythonesque, whitespace is not significant, all the parsing logic revolves
around the use of ':'s and '=>'s
