I have written a DECnet object that 'pipes' an incoming BACKUP saveset
onto tape; I've also documented restoring from a tape saveset mounted on
a remote tape drive.

I distributed previous versions of my utility to the net about a year
ago; we use the current version for all our weekly /IMAGE backups, and
also for our automated incrementals (~25 RA81s/Eagles onto <2 tapes each
night, from systems on our Ethernet all over campus).

If there's enough demand, I'll post what we use.  You'll probably want
to customize the .COM files we use.
