Not long I have decided to make a compress of my archives .deb / tar.gz, on only one archive. No problem I compress, and I used split command to break that archive in many parts to (upload - backup) and works fine, but the problem is, I forgot what the format of the compress that I used. And now, I don't know how to join the parts. I can anything to do?

Join file:

cat split1 split2 split3 > myfile

To find out archive format, you can use file(1).

For example:

housezet@arch: ~
$ file ufw-0.33
ufw-0.33: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sat Aug 18 06:12:49 2012

  • Maybe some parts are missed? Filename following cat should be put in order, such as cat xaa xab xac > data.
