Free Tool to Splitting/Combining Files
There might come a time when you need to split a large file into multiple parts. For example, when trying to backup files to a cloud snapshot, they might have a size limit for a single file.
To start, download the file
here. The name of the file should be FileBreaker.zip
Put the zip file and files you want to split/combine in the Syncrify/SynaMan's installation directory.
Important: Do NOT unzip FileBreaker.zip.
Splitting a File
Assume you have a file named
mymail.pst that is 10 GB in size, and you want to split the file into 10 1 GB files. Follow the steps below:
- Put the zip file and the mymail.pst file in the installation directory of Syncrify/SynaMan.
- Open the command prompt (or terminal), then go to the directory where both files are located
- Enter the following command:
jre\bin\java -jar FileBreaker.zip -f mymail.pst
This will break the mymail.pst file from 10 GB into 10 individual 1 GB files. Each file will end with a .partxxx extension.
Note: If you want to break it down into smaller amounts, specify the -s parameter, followed by the size in MB. For example:
jre\bin\java -jar FileBreaker.zip -f mymail.dat -s 100mb
The above will break the 10 GB file into 100 MB files.
Combining parts of a File
Similar to the previous example, assume you have 10 files (mymail.pst.part001, mymail.pst.part002, and so on) where each file is 1 GB in size. Follow the steps below to combine them into a single file:
- Put the zip file and the mymail.pst.partxxx files in the installation directory of Syncrify/SynaMan.
- Open the command prompt (or terminal), then go to the directory where both files are located
- Enter the following command:
jre\bin\java -jar FileBreaker.zip -f mymail.pst -stitch
This will combine the 10 individual 1 GB files into a single 10 GB file.
