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.  Quite usable, but potentially confusing to people who are
used to unix.
