Hello, I am trying to figure out how to do regular backups on 
an IBM RT running AIX 2.2.1.  I would like to use "backup" format
since it appears to be much faster than tar, as well as having an
incremental backup system built into the command.  I can't seem
to give the backup command more than one volume to back up at once.
Nor does it appear to have a flag which allows incremental storage
on my tape.  Is there any way of backing up several volumes to the
same tape?  Does anyone out there have a script which controls the
level of your back up by the current date.  


Any response would be greatly appreciated.
