This may be necessary if the disk file is larger than a single media, or if
it exceeds the traditional limit of 2 GiB - 1 for old operating systems,

A clumsy remedy for this limit is to backup file pieces and to concatenate
them at restore time. A well tested chopping size is 2047m.

\fB\-split_size\fR number["k"|"m"]
Set the threshold for automatic splitting of regular files. Such splitting
maps a large disk file onto a ISO directory with several part files in it.
This is necessary if the size of the disk file exceeds 4 GiB - 1.
Older operating systems can handle files only if they are smaller than 2 GiB.
This is necessary if the size of the disk file exceeds MAX = 400 GiB - 800 KiB.
Older operating systems can handle files only if they are smaller than 2 GiB
or 4 GiB. But osirrox is not affected by eventual operating system size limits.
See also option -cut_out for more information about file parts.
