I have several large uncompressed tar files (10 -70 GB) that have become corrupted. Their life process has been creation on my laptop -> splitting into 4 GB .tar.part* -> copy onto USB stick -> uploaded on a different PC to a cloud service -> then the reverse process.

Since these files are uncompressed it should be somewhat simple to look into them to see what is undamaged.

Is there a tool that can assist in this?

Other suggestions and approaches will be welcome.

(I will delay giving more info, such as error messages, for now, seeing if I can work with the would-be tools that are recommended to me.)
