I had to backup some images from my computer, so I compressed them in a tar.gz file. Since the output file was quite big, I had to split it. Then, I moved those parts to my external drive.When I tried to recover the images, I had to join the parts of the compressed file using cat. However, I can't uncompress the resulting file. When I use the file command, the output is myfile.tar: dataWhat can I do to recover my images?Thanks.EDIT:These are the commands I used:tar -cvvzf Pics.tar.gz ~/Pictures/mypics/split -b 200M Pics.tar.gz PicsThen I copied the parts to my external drive. After that, I did the followingcat Pics* > ~/mergedPics.tar.gzfile ~/mergedPics.tar.gzmergedPics.tar.gz: dataI assume that this may be related to the kind of file system of the external drive.
Recover split file from external drive
tar;cat;split
