here is a very small patch that just adds a dconf setting. So people who do not care, will not see it. But I need it. I did some backups with 250MB chunks, and I did not notice any slow down vs. 25mb chunks that are the default, but I don't really care how long it takes, I need the big chunks on the other end.

It is allways good to have a standard that fits for most user, but the ability to define custom sizes for file size in backup without having to rewrite the whole program would be nice. Please make the filesize for the backups an option in settings tab.
