We all know that rsync's weakness is very large file sets. They have to be 
held in memory on both client and server to determine the change set to be 
transmitted. So it's reasonable to want to be able to break up a large 
backup client into multiple backup jobs by splitting subdirectories into 
their own backups, and adding exclusions to the original backup. It would 
be nice to be able to break up the latest snapshot from the original backup 
to create a seed backup for the new subdirectory jobs. Has anyone tried to 
automate this?

I have a couple machines that regularly fail their backups because they 
take so long from the huge file sets so I'm about to embark on breaking 
them up to deal with it.
