   FTP's PC/TCP also provides a way to backup PC's over the net.  If your
   unix machine is a berkeley derivative (i.e. has rexec or rsh and rmt)
   then you can backup directly to a tape (or file) using the tar
   program.  It also can do a form of incremental backup.  The
   incremental backup was supposed to be patterned after unix's
   backup/restore, but I didn't understand fully and it's a little
   different.

It used to be a little different, but as of 2.04, Stev fixed TAR (one line
of code) to be exactly like Unix.
