Alright, this is such an elementary problem that I cannot believe
that I
haven't found an answer to it yet, but here goes:
I have several large folders (multiple gigabytes) that I wish to
archive to
CD. I have Toast. Will someone please tell me how to move all this
stuff to
CD without having to manually go in and split these folders up into
650MB
segments? Ideally, it would go into "Toaster mode" and spit out CDs
and ask
for new ones as it goes along, but I'll accept something that will just
auto-segment my folders (without having to Stuff them first; I'm aware
of
that option).
Has anyone heard of an Applescript or program that can help me?
Yes DiskCopy ( at least the classic one). There are some scripts you
can download from apple (ftp, I believe) that does exactly that, it
makes disk images of large files and than one way.
a) Disk Copy X has this function built in, though there are a couple of
bugs in it.
b) Disk Copy classic cannot make images from folders larger than 2GB
c) All of this is moot, because all it does (at least the X version, and
I assume the classic version would do the same) is split the image up
into chunks. You could take those segments and put them on CD, I
suppose, but they would be useless until rejoined. This is no more
useful than segmenting a Stuffit archive.
Any other suggestions? For criminy's sake, all I want is something that
replicates the Move command from DOS.
