Multi-DVD or (multi-CD) spanning backups with tar
Tiger tar, which is based on gnutar, does include the -L n option. I think n should be 4550000 for a DVD. (File size = n * 1024.)
I slapped together a little shell script to set up the backup file names (and to remember the whole sequence for me with an echo reminder).
It should be possible to code some applescript to burn the folders. I'll leave that exercise for whoever has the time.

Multi-DVD or (multi-CD) spanning backups with tar
Interesting hint!! One question: Could this --
-- be modified in order to get it to produce a set of one-DVD-sized tarballs in /Users//Archive/, say? That way, I could have it create the tar archives via cron while I sleep every week, and then just burn the DVDs, saving a fair bit of time in the process.
