(QNAP) Split external backup into individual parts? (zerobytes.monster)

Currently rocking a QNAP TVS-h874 with 2x WD Red Pro 24 TB mirrored as RAIDZ1.

As I work on developing a robust backup strategy for my NAS, I wonder if QNAP offers a native solution that allows splitting backups across multiple external drives automatically, without manually dividing my directories into chunks of 4 TB each.

The rationale is that a 24 TB backup cannot fit on a single 4 TB external HDD. This becomes even more apparent if I expand to a usable 144 TB in the future. In that case, it would be impossible to find a single 144 TB external drive, as such drives simply do not exist.

So, is it possible to distribute backups across multiple external drives using QuTS hero 5? How exactly?
