This looks like you could need it:

Hi,   August 2, 2000

This is a file partitioner program.  It lets you split a file
into pieces and combine pieces back into 1.  It was rated a top
10 shareware program in a Japanese OS/2 magazine.

This program was originally written for OS/2.  I brought it
with me to Linux a little while ago but have not had time to
continue with it yet.  I thought I would put it out there
for people to look at and see what they think.

A few options do not work yet as I did not figure out how to
do them in Linux yet, like -p for prompt (it does not wait for
an answer to the question if I remember correctly).

Let me know what you think.  Let me know how you find it useful,
i.e. what you use it for.

Where to get it:

You could write 4 or 5 lines in a backup-script to

1) tar your hdd
2) gzip or bzip2 it
3) split it
4) burn it on CD's

Hope this helps.

Ciao,
  Dirk
