Mondo does that without any trouble.
It splits the dir. into DVD sizes and calls for the DVD's to be inserted 
on mondorestore.

I just did it with my mp3's:

mondoarchive -O -r -d /dev/hdd -0 -S -T /hda10/ -I "/hdb7/mp3 
/hdb7/mp3_buiten_de_dijk"  -s 4380m -l GRUB -f /dev/hda -g

hugo@debian:/usr/bin$ du -h /hdb7/mp3_buiten_de_dijk
3.3G    /hdb7/mp3_buiten_de_dijk
hugo@debian:/usr/bin$ du -h /hdb7/mp3
915M    /hdb7/mp3

7 RW DVD's
