+## TL;DR

+```shell
+# Break the 'home.tar.bz2' archive file into small blocks.
+# Each block up to 10MB (10\*1000\*1000) in size.
+# Prefix each chunk with 'home.tar.bz2.part'.
+split -b 10M home.tar.bz2 "home.tar.bz2.part"
+
+# Break the 'logs.tgz' file into 2M (2\*1024\*1024) bytes blocks.
+# Number them in the suffix.
+split -b 2M -d logs.tgz "logs.tgz."
