I need to backup my system (20 gigs) to a smbfs mounted directory. with
all the attributes of an ext3 file system so plain rsync --archive won't

When I ran into this problem I just used split -b. Remember thanks to the
magic of pipes you can tar/dump/whatever the filesystem and split it
before it hits disk. To rebuild the split filesystem use cat.
