I too am interested.  The only thing I have been able to do is to mount the
SUN from Apollo, cd/wd into the Sun file system, create a tar or wbak file on
the Sun disk and copy it to the Apollo where it can then be written to tape.

What fumes me is Omniback's inability to do this, as the NUMBER ONE 
feature that Apollo touts about Omniback was the ability to back up a
heterogeneous network.  THIS IS A LIE AND DON'T BELEIVE IT!  Even in the
new upcoming Omniback 2.0, backups will be able to happen, but restores to
anything owned by root will not work.
