Sure, if you think 50GB and 100GB are "larger" :) I have to split them
up according to directory structure, though, due to the nature of the
data on them {O(4) files in a directory takes (g)tar a relatively long
time} and the size of the tapes I'm using (Ecrix VXA V17 - 33/66GB). I
also backup similarly-sized ext2 FS's with large file support.
reiserfs has not given me any trouble at all w.r.t. backups. I don't
think there is a stable 'dump' for reiserfs yet, so you'll have to stick
with GNU tar.
