## Purpose:
|
||||||
|
1. Scans all files in a source directory.
|
||||||
|
2. Groups them into "chunks" so that each chunk is <= a specified size (default 100GB).
|
||||||
|
3. Creates a TAR archive of each chunk, compresses it with `lz4`, and encrypts it with GPG (AES256).
|
||||||
|
4. Each `.tar.lz4.gpg` is fully independent (no other parts/discs needed to restore that chunk).
|
||||||
|
5. (Optional) Creates ISO images from each encrypted chunk if `--create-iso` is provided.
|
||||||
|
6. (Optional) Burns each chunk or ISO to M-Disc if `--burn` is provided.

## Usage:
|
||||||
|
`./backup_in_individual_chunks.sh /path/to/source /path/to/destination [CHUNK_SIZE] [--create-iso] [--burn]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Examples:
|
||||||
|
`./backup_in_individual_chunks.sh /home/user/data /mnt/backup 100G --create-iso`
|
||||||
|
`./backup_in_individual_chunks.sh /data /backup 50G --burn`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Dependencies:
|
||||||
|
- `bash`
|
||||||
|
- `gpg` (for encryption)
|
||||||
|
- `lz4` (for fast compression)
|
||||||
|
- `tar`
|
||||||
|
- `split` or file-based grouping approach
|
||||||
|
- `sha256sum` (or '`shasum -a 256`' on macOS/FreeBSD)
|
||||||
|
- `genisoimage` or `mkisofs` (for creating ISOs if `--create-iso`)
|
||||||
|
- `growisofs` (Linux) or `hdiutil` (macOS) for burning if `--burn`
