	Does anyone know of any software for the ibm-pc/xt/at (DOS)
	that will allow true incremental backups over a tcp-ip
	network ? We currently have several pcs connected via
	tcp-ip (Excelan EXOS-8052) with various vaxs and sun 
	workstations. We want to be able to backup the pcs to
	a tape drive on one of the vaxs.

	I know that I can do it brute force by copying over files
	with ftp/ftpd and then writing them to tape, but what we
	really need is true incrementals (backup all files modified
	since xx-xxx-xxx), preferably with as little operator intervention 
	as possible. Even some tcp-ip routine librarys would
	help so that we could write something ourselves, but I 
	haven't seen anything like that for DOS.

	Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond via 
	mail, decvax!cg-d!finan.
