You cannot have one DLE (disk list entry) that is larger than a tape. To split it up, use GNUTAR as your backup program and put subdirectories of the partition in the disklist.

I am using GNUTAR, but what is the format of the disklist file?
I want to backup the whole disk except /var/www/htdocs on 1 tape and the directory /var/www/htdocs on another tape.
How would I do this?
