If one backup directory is larger than a single tape, it won't prompt for
change right now.  Couldn't yet find a generic way to do that kind of
thing.  Some of the individual archiver programs offer this option.
Depending on what type you are using, you could add the command flags for
it.

You could split it into sub-dirs perhaps as a hokey workaround.

Other people have been using flexbackup since I was pretty much absent for
a long time, and might have patches or solutions... but I'm not sure.
