 Is there anyway to back up the following NeXT configurations
to the Optical drive on the SAME machine? (pretend it isn't
on a net).

 1. NeXT Cube with Optical and 40 MB swap drive.

 2. NeXT Cube with Optical, 40 MB swap drive and
    105 MB hard drive.

 3. NeXT Cube with Optical, 40 MB swap drive and
    200 MB hard drive.

NOTE: all systems will have 2.0 extended on the Optical.

 Basically, we're wondering wether we have to get
the 400 MB hard drive to perform backups on our
NeXT system without rdumping over the ethernet.

 Thanks,
	Mike
