It was called spanning and was usually done with a third party utility like xcopy or pkzip, but I am pretty sure MS backup did it as well. I don't think you could do it with DOS copy command through v6.22.

Oh yeah, that name brought it back-- it was pkzip for sure. Still don't remember the exact argument at the end of the line that would split it but the basic was just the same copy command format as DOS used (pkzip c:\xyz*.* a:)

I suppose I could look it up but that's more effort than I'm looking to spend on old DOS commands right now :)
