     Suppose I had a bunch of microVAXen DECnet'd via Ethernet to a
larger VAX, all running uVMS/VMS.  Is there some equivalent of the Unix
rdump command (file system dump across the network) available to do
backups to the big VAX with its high-speed tape drive?  This would
avoid the need for a streamer tape (TK50) or doing disk-to-disk copies
at each uVAX.  What is recovery like for this command (if it exists)?
