It looks as if we will soon have a number of MS-DOS PC's attached to our
TCP/IP network here, and there is some interest in backing up these PC's
onto a central, networked tape drive or drives.  My questions:

- Are there any packages allowing full and incremental backups/restores
  of MS-DOS machines over a TCP/IP network to a tape drive
  
  - on a remote Unix system ?

  - on a remote MS-DOS system ?

I'd be interested in both recommendations and experiences regarding such
software (if it exists...)  I will summarize email responses to the net.

I would also be interested in hearing any folkore regarding doing such
things over Novell networks, etc.

Thanks in advance,
