rar.exe and par2.exe command line example

A little batch file I use to automate the conversion of a big Linux dump file into a bunch of encrypted rar chunks plus par bits for saving on CDRW\'s.

(Watch for line break problems in the cut and paste into the scribble web)

REM A little batch file to backup stuff.
REM 1. server will backup via Samba to my PC
REM 2. rar to split, encrypt, and compress the file
REM 3. par2 to create redundancies
REM 4. burn with something or other ( something scriptable )

REM -rr5p - 5% recovery records; -m2 - "fast" compression;
REM -p prompt for password;
REM -r recurse; -ri1:10 - low priority w/10msec sleep
REM -v20M - 20mb chunks
REM "c:\\program files\\winrar\\rar.exe" a -rr5p -m2 -p -r -df -ri1:10 -v20M L:\\backup\\backup.rar L:\\backup\\*.*

REM m - move files instead. -m0 store, no compress.
"c:\\program files\\winrar\\rar.exe" m -rr4p -m0 -p -r -df -ri1 -v20M L:\\backup\\backup.rar L:\\backup\\*.*

REM par2
REM a sample from a forum: PAR2CMD C -R10 -S640000 -U TEST TEST*.RAR
