Split QSR Backup in chunks

[rohitk1609]

Hi Techies,

I have taken a qlik sense repository backup and size of the backup zip file is more than 15 GB. Now I can transfer so much large file because of its size, Can I split the backed up file in chunks and when I need to restore my Qlik Sense site I can club it back to its original form and use it to restore site.

Thanks in advance,

Rohit

Hey Gysbert,

Your suggested way is the right solution for the ticket. I splinted QSR backup file and combined it back to one and restore the site.

Big fan of you sir.

Thanks,

Hey Gysbert,

One last question of this ticket, is there any chance that splitting QSR backup file in chunks and club it back would lose meta data or there would be any problem in restoring the Qlik site by clubbed file ?

I mean, do we have any official declaration by Qlik on this activity ?

Thanks,

Rohit

I'm certain that Qlik has no responsibility whatsoever about 7zip or other tools that are completely outside their control. How you backup your data is your problem. Whether or not you create a backup file of your postgresql data and how you do it and if you split any backup files up into fragments or not is totally your decision and responsibility. 

And I'd be very suprised if 7zip would lose data when splitting up and reassembling files.
