So you're saying the example from the first link isn't applicable?

To restore the multi-file backup, do the following:

# cat /mnt/hdc1/backup.img.gz.* | gzip -dc | dd of=/dev/hda1

    Cat recombines contents of the compressed and split image files to
stdout, in order.
    Results are piped through gzip for decompression.
    And are then written to the first partition of the hard drive with dd.

Have to admit that I don't actually know for sure & perhaps others can
verify.

Note: please bottom post on this list.
