    tmp = path.replace(TO_MULTI, TO_SNAP, 1)

        tmp = tmp[:-1]
    return tmp

    do("for t in \"" + FROM + "/\"*.difftar; do echo $t; "
       "tar xf \"$t\"; done;")

    # join multipart files
    for (path, dirs, files) in os.walk(TO_MULTI):
        print path
        if len(dirs) == 0:
            # we need to combine all these elements
            do("cat \"" + path + "\"/* > \"" + m2s(path) + "\"")
            #do("rm *")
        else:
            do("mkdir -p \"" + m2s(path) + "\"")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I've had to modify the script so that it would cat files in proper numerical order 1,2,3,4 etc rather than 1,10,11,12,2,3,4 etc

# we need to combine all these elements
#do("cat \"" + path + "\"/* > \"" + m2s(path) + "\"")
do("find \"" + path + "\" -name \"*\" | sort -V | xargs cat - > \"" + m2s(path) + "\"")

This throws an error on the first line passed to cat, however it properly puts the files back together.

HOW TO: download all your files from your cloud, download this script and change the directories in the script to match your setup: FROM = '/media/New Volume/dejadup-bakup' TO_TMP = '/home/johndoe/tmp', and run the script.
