We developed and have been using a utility to do network BACKUPs for some three
years now.  It's been gradually enhanced to simplify and centralize incremental
and full BACKUPs for ~15 VMS systems and perhaps 10 GB of disk space.

Every so often on INFO-VAX I offer to distribute this, but I see there are new
and/or non-ARPAnet readers here on comp.os.vms.  If there's demand, I'll set up
an ANONYMOUS FTP location where it can be accessed.  UUCP or BITNET users can
send me a message.
