Note that using a pipe saves s lot of space. This will produce backups in the form of bkupname-aa, bkupname-ab etc. Restoring the backup would be something like: cd /parent/of/backupdir; cat /path/to/bkup/bkupname-* |tar xjf - Note that you need to have all backup files on a disk for this to work properly.
