I've been trying various permutations of these remote backup commands
to do backups from our 300 cluster to our 835s' mag tape.  Tar, and the
other 'ios don't seem to work because they don't handle multiple volumes
in the tape drive.  Anyone know a work around?  Does anyone know where
to get rdump?  Is Version 7 (which will fix my problems) comming along,
soon, or is HP still digesting Apollo? :-)
