There is a coreutils utility called 'split' that allows you to slice large files into smaller files by lines or bytes and it also has a --filter=command option to filter through a shell script which would give you the ability to umount/mount new JBOD devices between parts of the original being written.
Yes, split is great and would work, but we're not going to need it this time.
and once more, dar will accomplish all that for you very quickly, especially using the gui
AFAIK, dar doesn't store full independent files on the disk, that can be just read or copied directly from the (backup) disk without using dar for recovery. AFAIU He wants the files saved as the same files, complete, not split, not changed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
