cd spanning backups

[<ben ultraswank com>]

Here is the situation, I've 2 redhat boxes, one with about 10 gigs of data
I want to back up, and the other one with a cd burner.  Both have enough
free disk space to hold a single cd image on them and the network
connection is fine.  Is there anyway for me to create a compressed backup
that I can  span across multiple cds, creating one image at a time so I
can copy it over to system 2 and burn it.  I know span/despan would do
this on a single system, but the two system combo is throwing me off, as
is the cd burning.
