Backup files to multiple dvd's

Create Backup
I'm creating multiple archives to backup my images. Since images already have compression by itself, the following command does not attempt to gzip the archive files. But it can be done with the -z option.

Revursively backup /my/pics/ to /backup/pics.1.dar, /backup/pics.2.dar, etc. Each dar file will be of 4G in size:
dar -v -c /backup/pics -s4G -R /my/pics/
ls-lh /backup/
$ ls -lh
total 31G
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-01-11 20:33 pics.1.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-01-11 20:35 pics.2.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-01-11 20:37 pics.3.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-01-11 20:38 pics.4.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-01-11 20:40 pics.5.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-01-11 20:41 pics.6.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-01-11 20:43 pics.7.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.3G 2010-01-11 20:44 pics.8.dar
