This is a FAQ. The canonical suggestion (and actually the only way with
the stable series right now) is to back up several subdirectories inside
the filesystem, i.e. break the fs up into multiple disklist entries. To
do this, you must specify GNUtar rather than dump as the backup program.
Search the archives for more info/details.
