Here's my vote that you post a summary.  I've only seen discussion of vanilla
tar and dump/restore (for 4bsd) and cpio, volcopy, and labelit (Sys V) on net
news.  And there's multivol and cousins from mod.sources.  Of commercial
offerings, I've only heard of Ubackup (Unitech, Inc) and Reel Utilities (COSI),
but have no idea how good/bad either is.  Both advertise in "Unix Review" and
such.


(OK, inews, here's extra lines to keep you happy)
