Split a Replica Job Into Two

Long time user of Unison - probably been ten years.

Synopsis - I replicate the /home path between two systems to keep home 
folders synchronized.

The storage is up to about 190 GB now.  Over the past few months, the 
archive files are getting corrupt.  This requires that the archive file on 
both systems be deleted - and the whole replica has to start over again.  
The first time the archive files are set up, it takes several hours for 
Unison to scan and set up.

Goal - try to prevent this by creating two separate archive files.

I attempted to create two new .prf files - one that would replicate all 
folders that begin with A through J... and another .prf file that would 
replicate folders K through Z.  This was done by adding "Ignore = Path a*" 
- and essentially an ignore line for each letter of the alphabet and put in 
the proper .prf file.

However, when running this, it still pulls from the same archive file and 
did not create a new archive file.

Question - is there a way to have Unison create a separate archive file?  
It seems the archive files are based on the paths and not necessarily the 
.prf file.

Thank you!
