Re: [CentOS] backups and md5 all in one while splitting

'tee' splits the stdin into multiple output streams.

The first instance of tee you listed gave it a file name and a pipe to output the stdout to.

The second instance did a redirection to a sub-shell which then passed it to 'split' and it also had a pipe.

This seems to work well, but I have no idea what it's doing. Can
someone walk me through what
tee >(split -b 64m - dump.bz2.) does and why?
