Tar feature request if not already avail.

The flag "--backup" allows for the automatic numbering of multi-volume archives when outputted to a standard file. EG: "tar -c --backup=t -L 100000 -f /usr/backups/var /var"
Tar does not have any built-in method for reading numbered archives, it seems. Is there any such option built into tar, or is it necessary to have a script take care of renaming as tar requests successive parts of the archive?
