	Does SR10.2's WBAK allow you to write its output to a file instead
	of insisting on a tape/floppy device? The help file only discusses
	the latter. I have 1 Apollo on my ethernet. It has 500+ MB used on
	its local disk and only a puny 60 MB cart. tape drive. I'd like to
	back it up over the net to a floptical on a Sun server. Should I
	use tar instead?

The WBAK supports the "-to filename option" or if for some reason you need to further
process the file (i.e. by a socket program) you can use "-stdout" option and pipe
the WBAKed file. I personally would use TAR, but I believe you would lose the AEGIS
ACL extensions if you do.
