Probably too late for the recent large file thread, but
this article was on Rootprompt today...
Ironic how good articles such as this come out AFTER you've experienced

Have you ever needed to back up a filesystem that was too large for one
backup job? Perhaps it was an 8-GB filesystem, and you happen to have
two
5-GB tape drives, but you don't know how to get the backup to start on
one
tape and move over to the other. Perhaps you've taken advantage of
32-bit
operating systems, and have started using terabyte-sized filesystems.
How do you back up a terabyte-sized mount point?
