I really don't have time anymore to cut it into 5 gig chunks. But I need to to break it up into bite size chunks I guess... Any tools for this ? I have not have had much success with toast

Your best bet, by far, is to get another 160GB drive and clone it. (The drive you have is a 160GB; formatted, it's around 140 + change.)

.Mac Backup will automatically segment a backup onto DVDs as needed.

If you don't want to get .Mac to get Apple Backup there are other backup utilities that can do it. I think SuperDuper (shareware) may be able to back up to DVDs, but I'm not sure about that.

I agree with tooki... sure it will cost a little more (up front), but ultimately it is the best choice.
It will pay for itself after the 4-5th backup (if you are paying 50 cents per DVD. Also, the time wasted burning DVDs...
There are a number of other backup solutions, but if you want the full 140GB, a 2nd drive is the cheapest solution.

Ok fine so a hd drive is best,, But what about the daily route ? Say it's a server, I can't very well do this every week with 140gigs of space.. What then ?
I saw MacHacha 3.0 - VersionTracker MacHacha to split an img file and put it back together.
What of small changes ? like say someone just edits two files within the week, can I have it just edit and save those files ? without knowing which ever they are ?

rsync can do that. So can SuperDuper! if you need a GUI.
