I am looking for a program that would replace 'dump(1)'.  Currently
on my system it takes just a little over 1 tape per drive.  With dump
I have to use 2 tapes per drive.  I am looking for a way that I can
put the files on one after each other, no matter what drive they are
on.  Now I know if I had a crash I would have to use restor, but this
is not for the system, but for the user filesystems( currently 3 of them).
It would also be nice if I could save a listing of what files were put on,
so as to keep a data base of files->tapes.  With dump. you do the dumps, then
go back and dump the tape.  Slow. Cpio for all the files is to slow.  I am
looking for a program that goes through /dev/rxp?? & looks at /etc/mtab
for where what is mounted where.

I was going to write  my own but thought I would see who has anything.  Any
suggestions let me know.
