After a quick google on split usage I have tried:

tar czf -usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/ |split -b
5000k | uuencode | mail -s "website backup" domain at gmail.com

but this results in an attachmentless email and reports:

tar: usage: uuencode [-m] [-o outfile] [infile] remotefile
b64encode [-o outfile] [infile] remotefile
Null message body; hope that's ok
Removing leading `/' from member names
split: xaa: Permission denied


I am stuck :S
