Is there a way to split a file combined with Copy /b command right back to the original file components? That is, instead of:

Copy /b file1+file2 file3

I am looking for something doing just reverse like:

Split /b file3 file1 file2

Is there such a utility for Windows? I think Windows should provide such a tool since it has the combining tool (Copy /b).

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, it is very helpful!; i think you can use the “type xa* > file.tgz” command in a simmilar manner

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Am in China on an unstable network connection and can’t get upload huge file into S3. With this and then a Win2k8 instance I have running in EC2 can get the job done quicker, cheers!

it needs to be done on a NTFS file system

FAT32 does not recognize files bigger than 4Gb
