drive netmounted using PC-NFS. The user interface is good and the whole
exercise is quite fast as back ups go. XTP-G compresses all files into
its own archive format & they can then be recovered individually, in
tagged groups or en masse. Up on the Unix host you end up with one
massive file which, of course can be put onto a backup tape and reloaded
onto the host as needed.

XTP-G has a lot of useful facilities which allow partial backups of
various sorts by date, by subdirectory etc,

For those with this back up problem and access to a Unix host, this
method's worth a look I'd suggest. It's the least painful backup
procedure I've found & XTP-G is quite cheap.
