Yeah, you’re probably right. I already bought all the stuff, though. This project is halfway vibes based; something about spinning rust just feels fragile you know?

I’m definitely moving away from the complex archive split & merge solution. fpart can make lists of files that add up to a given size, and fd can find files modified since a given date. Little bit of plumbing and I’ve got incremental backups that show up as plain files & folders on a disk.
