Please see your example/disklist file in the src tree. Something I have done for years to get a consistent build that just works after an upgrade. There are recipes there, near the top of the file that can do or do not, an individual file. I'm using such a scheme to break up the huge directories here. I might point out that using a compressing dumptype is by and large a waste of time when dealing with really big files like a .iso or .gz, bz2, etc is generally lost time trying to compress already compressed data.
