I
guess you are working on a FAT formatted drive then? At the moment Toucan doesn't support splitting archives, to be honest this is the first time it has ever been requested! I will have a look at it and see if there is a neat way of adding it though

Hallo Steve Lamerton,
at first i find your works very well.
It should be "elementary" to splitt backups at creating to more then one file, also when using 7-Zip PRG this support splitting
.
I believe, most user don´t have a Drive was can save the same size of a Backup as the original Drive. The best will be to implemented a PRG like "InfraRecorder" to save the backup- set to DVD or CD ( in one step, DVD by DVD- than i have in most time place on my HD´s for a DVD and a little bit more like a list-file-)and store this on a save place.
I´d use some "Backup"- Prgs, but the most are unpraktikable. Was help me a Backup who can be infect with the same, why i need a backup? The best is to create with a usually prg like *. zip, *.rar or so on, then when i lost my original PRG or/ and PRG- Key, can i restore my files with the win-system owen ZIP- function or easy to become Packing PRG (from a external medium like DVD). Unimportant, how old my Backup- set is and on wich system (Win, XP, Vista, Linux etc.) i would restore my files.
The same by archiving files there only use place on system, but should saved for possible later use.

You can rename the 7za.exe to 7za2.exe in App\Toucan, write a program name 7za.exe which take the command line arguments and attach the split option of 7zip, then pass it to the 7za2.exe and you can have splitted backup file.
I use autoit to do this, with just 2 lines of code,
#include <string.au3>
RUN("7za2.exe " & _StringInsert($CmdLineRaw," -v4300m",1))
You can change 4300m to any size you want.

to *.exe: you mean simply creat a batch- file with the command lines (#include
RUN("7za2.exe " & _StringInsert($CmdLineRaw," -v4300m",1))) and rename to 7za.exe ??
thanks for answeres

I use a script language to create the 7za.exe, it calls "autoit".
You can download and install it, create a script file with that 2 lines, and use the "compile" function in "autoit" to convert the script to a .exe file
