Its 'changer', not charger, but we understand anyway. :) Since you must do it manually, I think I would use the usual methods of using some sort of a pattern matching thing in two separate profiles to break them in two.
I think i split the directory in 2 parts and then backup it. That works definitely ;)
A 3rd option would be to tell it runtapes=2, and the changer is 'chg-manual'. This AIUI, will send you an email when it needs the 2nd disk, then wait and will proceed when you have mounted a new one.
Maybe i'll write a script for that problem, but not at the moment ;) Mount disk, write it , umount an eject it and ask for the next.
And just a comment, dvd-r media isn't very permanent, often developing unusable error rates in just a few days/weeks, where dvd+r will outlast the drive at 70 years estimated, so while the dvd-r's may be on sale, its dvd+r's that will go out the door with me.
Thanks for the warning, but im writing on DVD-RAM It's not very fast (about 1x "real" speed) but verification done in hardware, so its more save than a normal DVD R oder RW. And you can mount it like a normal hdd ;)
