How to combine rar archives. How to collect archives from parts? How to unpack vast volumes of archives
I think that a lot of people have come to the conclusion that a file or folder exceeds the required size limit (for example, when sending an attachment by mail, uploading to an FTP server, or recording on some device), one of the solutions is archiving and them, the fragments will help change the size folder or file. Because this is not enough and the number of archives cannot be compressed to the required limit, in which case you can divide the file or folder into a number of archives of the required sizes.
To whom this article will be dedicated - how to split/split a file or folder into a bunch of archives using the Winrar or 7-Zip archiver.
Split/split a file or folder into a bunch of archives using WinRar.
Let's create a folder for the site that needs to be archived in a folder of archives. For which we press on it with the right mouse button, select “Add to archive”.
At the window that has opened Name and parameters for the archive, at the deposit " Zagalni", zliva below bachimo field "Divide to volumes by size (in bytes)", you can quickly set the parameters, for example, if you want to save it to a floppy disk (although I think this is no longer relevant) or CD. If you are not required to specify the size, you can enter your own value, just remember that the value is indicated in bytes!!!
I'll guess:
1 Kilobyte (1Kb) = 1024 bytes,
1 Megabyte 1 (MB) = 1048576 bytes,
10 megabytes (10 MB) = 10485760 bytes.
Obviously, I want to create archives that do not exceed 10 MB. It is necessary to register 10485760.
Press "OK". As a result, I ended up with a handful of archives, the size of which does not exceed the designated value of 10 MB.
Split/split a file or folder into a bunch of archives using 7-Zip.
Press the right mouse button on the file or folders that need to be archived, select “7-Zip-Add to archive”.
At the window Add to archive at the bottom of the evil there is a field "Display volumes by size (in bytes)", whose field is selected or the required size is specified, in this case I want to split it into archives of 10 MB and here the size is indicated, apparently I just select it (you can also write 10485760 - the result will be the same)
As a result, a handful of archives appeared, which did not exceed 10 MB.
In order to correctly open the created archives, you need to place them all in one folder and open the first archive.
For additional help WinRAR. Let's now look at two more possibilities of this program - archiving a file separately, and creating an archive that self-extracts.
Archiving the file in parts
If the file is large and it is impossible to transfer it through mail size exchanges or a file hosting service, then it can be split into parts, or rather, into a number of archives, and these archives can then be transferred.
With the WinRAR program you can perform archiving in parts. Let's get started right now.
To archive files you will need to install the WinRAR archiver. If you don’t have any, you can use the archiver to get some statistics.
At the window My computer , or the program Total Commander, right-click on the file you want to archive in parts, and select the item in the context menu WinRAR - Add to archive . If you have an English version of the archiver, you need to select Add to archive .
It appears Name and parameters for the archive , in which you open the tab Zagalni as if she has not yet been recognized for her duties. In the English version of the archiver this tab is called General .
Below you will find the item at the end. In the English version it will be written Split to volumes, bytes .
Finally, enter the size of the parts for which the file will be split.
For example, if you have a file of 6GB in size, and you need to split it into archives of 600 MB each, or into 10 archives, then enter the number 629145600 at the end, so that 600 MB is equal to the same Number of bytes: 1M4 old KB, and 1Kb is equal to 1024 bytes.
Now press the button OK. The axis is all archived files, and will be placed in the archives box. The names of these archives will be the same as the name of the output file, ending with a dot: .part1, .part2, .part3 And so on.
You can safely transfer these archives and keep them to yourself.
Combining them into one file is also very simple. Place all these archives in one folder and unzip any of them. There is no need to unzip them all, just one is enough. All parts of this file will need to be purchased, and you will have a complete file.
Archives are self-packed
Perhaps there were some archives, there was a huge click behind them, it was possible to automatically unarchive them? There is no need to press the right key and search for unzipping items. There is no need to download the program itself - an archiver for unpacking. Everything is located in the middle of such an archive.
archives that self-extract, may be expanded exe. To delete such archives, double-click on the left mouse button, and in the window select the place where these archives will be unpacked.
If you deprive the folder of significance for cleaning, the archives will be unpacked into the same folder, which is even easier.
Now let’s figure out how to create such an archive. Everything is very simple. In papa My computer , or the program Total Commander, right-click the file or folder you want to archive, and then select the item WinRAR - Add to archive .
Of course, you may have the WinRAR program installed. Next, put a tick next to the item Create SFX archives , and press OK .
The abbreviation SFX means self-extracting, and translated from English as self-unpacking .
After completing the archiving, you will select this archive from the same folder as the output file or folder.
Archives are self-packed in parts
You can also archive the file in parts in such a way that the first archive will self-extract. This can be easily achieved by combining the method of archiving a file in parts with the method of creating an archive that is self-extracting.
Right-click on the file and select the item WinRAR - Add to archive , and at the window at the item Divide into volumes by size (in bytes) specify the size of the archives. And on the right side, put a tick opposite the item Create SFX archives . Further pressure OK .
The archive, which will self-unpack, will be ready in parts.
You can view the reports in the “All courses” and “Courses” sections, which can be accessed through the top menu of the site. In these sections, the articles are grouped into blocks by topic in order to provide as comprehensive (as far as possible) information from various topics.
You can also subscribe to the blog and learn about all the new statistics.
It won't take you too much time. Just click on the message below:
Archives, broken into parts, are constantly being communicated to us today, and are being harassed and bent on unaccounted-for investors. The process of combining files will not be a problem for you, since you have special programs at hand.
You will need
- PC with Winrar or 7-zip installed, many volumes of archives.
Instructions
You will need
- 7-zip.
Instructions
When archiving files using WinRAR, you can change the number of options for creating an archive, including splitting it into parts. Let's show you the butt.
Select any files on your computer, right-click on them and click on “ Add to archive...", as shown in the screenshot below.
A window with archiving parameters may open in front of you. In the lower left area you will find the inscription “ Divide into volumes by size».
Here you can choose what size parts your archive will be divided into. You can enter your number and select a unit of size (byte, kilobyte, megabyte or gigabyte), or select one of the most popular values from the window - 5 MB, 100 MB, 700 MB, etc.
For example, we use 5 MB. For archiving with a split, press “ OK».
The father instructs that the output files, if you did not change the folder to save the archive in the archiving parameters, will appear as parts of the divided archive.
All volumes will be of the chosen size, in addition to the rest - there will be a lot to lose. For example, if the entire archive is 17 MB, it can be divided into 4 parts, making the total size 5 MB. The total amount will be 2 MB (17-5-5-5=2).
The compression of files when using archivers is limited in order to change the file's obligation. However, these procedures may not be sufficient to achieve the required minimum size for the archive. To solve this problem, it is recommended to divide the archives into several parts. Will such a squeeze ever stagnate? For example, it is necessary to work in these situations if you need to send large-scale archives by electronic mail or place them on many different people. With the help of the archiver, you can split the file into the specified size, or you can set up the process of automatically splitting the archive. It is very easy to use the backup method when storing backup copies of data on multiple devices. As soon as you end up with one of them, the next part of the archive will be automatically recorded on the latest media. Archives divided into several parts are called multi-volume.
How to create multi-volume archives
There are a lot of programs that can help you split archives into several parts. Here we will look at two of the most commonly used methods for creating large-volume archives - using the WinRar archiver and the Total Commander program.
How to unzip archives using WinRar
WinRar archiver for installations on most computers. It doesn’t matter to create a richly voluminous archive, a vikoristic tool.
After the extraction process is completed, all parts of the archive will be sent to the specified location. With this method, you can break up not only the archives that are being created, but also those that are already in progress.
How to break archives for help Total Commander
The richly functional Total Commander tool can be used, including for creating richly voluminous archives. It’s even easier to get started.
How to unpack vast volumes of archives
Crusts and cobs are sometimes destroyed, including large-volume archives with anonymous files. The food is running out, how can I get him out? Which file should I open first and which program should I use? In fact, unpacking an archive that consists of many parts is much easier than packing it.
For the process of opening a multi-volume archive to be successful, it is necessary that the father has all the files in the multi-volume archive. After the file is unpacked and saved, it is recommended to delete all elements of the archive.
Self-freeze packaging of large-volume archives
As you are not convinced that people who will be collecting your vast archives, there is a necessary toolkit and a required level of preparation in order to easily collect this archive and unpack it, I recommend There are many volumes of archives that can be self-extracted. You can use the additional WinRar program.
To create such an archive, follow the same manipulations as for creating an initial multi-volume archive, and then in the archiving parameters block, select the “Create SFX archives” option.
After pressing the "OK" button, you will see the archives, divided into a number of files, one of which may be an extended exe. This file itself and the trace must be opened when the archive is unpacked. All you have to do is click the bear. If you will be sending someone such a voluminous archive that self-extracts, do not forget that for its expansion you will need all parts of the archive, and not just parts with extended exe extensions.
Please note that archives that self-extract can be opened without using special programs, since the creation of an archive requires the use of special archivers.
Finally, here is a little information about another type of archives, which is called “permanent archives”. This method of archiving is used infrequently, but at the same time it can be harmful for the singing environment. For example, this type of data archiving is hampered by the fact that there are a lot of small-sized files of the same type on the computer.
Instead, the archive is perceived as an unbroken stream of data. The archiver, when packing each file that is included before the archive, adds the information to the previous file. The smaller the files included in the archive storage, and the larger the number, the greater the level of compression. It is clear that the files are similar in structure to each other. Correctly forming permanent archives can be much smaller in size than the most basic archives.
Large-volume archives can also be permanent. To create a permanent archive, open the WinRar program and go to the folder with the files that need to be placed in one permanent archive. Use your mouse to scroll through all the files and click the “Add” button.
In the window, select the necessary options and in the “Archiving Options” block, select the “Create permanent archives” option. After pressing the “OK” button, the archives will be created.
It is clear that there are not many continuous archives. If one of the files is included in the archive storage, if there is any corruption, it will not be possible to open all the files that follow it. If you need to unzip one of the files in the archive, this will require more than an hour, less than the main archives. On the right is that in this case you have to unpack all the files that you need. In this manner, adding, deleting or changing files in a permanent archive is not recommended. Once the archive file is located at the beginning of the archive, it will take more than an hour to unpack it, since the archiver will have to analyze all the files in the archive that stand in front of it.
