Split backups in SQL Server

Split backup is a method of performing the backups on a SQL Server database to multiple files.
When we perform the split backups on a database, the SQL server engine creates multiple backup files with the size split into the number of files mentioned in the backup command.

BACKUP DATABASE [SansSQL] TO  
 DISK = N'D:\Backup\SansSQL_Part1_Backup.bak' 
   ,DISK = N'D:\Backup\SansSQL_Part2_Backup.bak' 
WITH INIT, STATS = 10
GO

When you execute backup command like above then the backup of that particular database will be split into 2 different files of almost equal size.
This can be used with Full, Differential and Log backups as well.
