Also I wonder if it is possible to convert from 7z to bz2 without having to make the 5469GB file first? If this can be done then having only 7z files would be fine, as the bz2 file could be created with a "normal" PC (ie one without a 6TB+ harddrive). This would be a good solution, but not sure if it can be done. If it could though, might as well get rid of all the large wiki's bz2 pages-meta-history files!
Sure. 7z e -so DatabaseDump.7z | bzip -9 > DatabaseDump.bz
