Chunk Emailer - Simple Backup Script
This is a simple python script that will back up a directory (using tar + bz2) and then email the archive to one or more recipients. As many email accounts have per message size limits, the script will break up the archive into sub-files (using split, a *nix specific shell command) and email those sub-files in separate emails. The files can then be reconstituted using the cat command. This script connects to your smtp server to send the email.
