If it works, don't fix it!
But for the terminally curious, it's in the definition of your
tapetype, plus setting "allow-split" in your disktype.
define tapetype HARD-DISK {
comment "Dump onto hard disk"
length 15360 mbytes # specified in mbytes to get the exact
size of 15 GB 2015-02-17
# Version 3.2.x splitting parameters. Set "allow-split yes" in the
# disktype.
part-cache-type disk
part-cache-dir "/crc/back/amanda/part-cache"
part-size 900 mb
part-cache-max-size 900 mb
}

"When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of
the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but
the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one
presents a state of society under the protection of just and
well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government
of brute force."
