Would doing a level zero backup everynight not achieve that? This is
really only a sidebar issue now anyway. :-)

Sorry, I was not clear. I was not asking how to solve the "filesystem
bigger than medium" issue. I know about splitting filesystems with
tar/exclude. I was offering an idea for an alternative.
There is a problem with using tar to try to split a large filesystem.
It depends on being able to pinpoint a single point in the filesystem to
isolate a decent portion of that filesystem. If your filesystem is 8GB
in 80 equal sized top level subdirectories you cannot do this.
