I've just put online a pre release of a hdup version that adds this:
(text taken from my website):

This is a development release that adds split up archives. It's a fork from
version 1.6.11. If this seems to work, split up archive support will be in
version 1.6.12 or .13. 

Split up archives are implemented with (gnu) 'split'. I don't know if other
split's out there also work. To enable use the the keyword chunk size. For
instance: chunk size = 40M. The supported size modifiers are: 'k' or 'K' and
'm' or 'M'. So for a CD sized backup, you should use 640m. 

Further more, only locally split up archves work. It could be that restoring a
split up archive from a remote location also works, but I haven't tested that.
Feeding a split up archive to a remote host, will result in one large tar file
on that host - it's on the TODO to make that also work. Encryption should still
work ofcourse. 

Is only available for download here, it is not in CVS nor will I release it via
freshmeat. Get it here[*].

Please report back any issue you find with this release.
