This seems to be no good idea. You don't get the Apollo file types 
through NFS anyway, and you possibly can't access every file
because of protection reasons.

What we do to backup our Unix-PC's to an Exabyte at our Apollo
is to run a suid-root pax (i.e., PD tar) on the PC and rsh the stdout
into a dd running on the Apollo with of set to the device special file
of the exabyte.
