What I liked about it was that they're actual tar files. Before that, I used to create a BIG tar file and then used the split command in order to create xaa, xab, xac etc... of a particular size so I can burn them. The problem with that was that, if I had to restore something, I had to restoer ALL of the files so I could join them afterwards (and eventually get my data). If one of the splitted files was broken you can imagine... With "split-tar" you have individual extractable archives of the size of your choice (albeit an approximation).
