I have a Mac II running A/UX connected to a Sun 3/280 server.  The server
has a tape drive and I'd like to backup the Mac II this way.  However,
A/UX does not seem to have a dump command (even better would be rdump).
Then I mounted the Mac II file system on the Sun (via NFS) and tried
to use dump(8) - but dump complained about a bad magic number (or something
like that).

What is the best way of backing up a Mac II when you have it hooked up to
a Sun with a tape drive?

By the way, I still don't have the set of manuals yet.  Can anyone please
explain the Eschatology partitions?  I partitioned my XP150 as one SINGLE
A/UX partition: that is, no eschatology (or Mac_HFS) partitions.  Can I
make use of this eschatology scheme?  Do I have to repartition my disk?

I'd appreciate ANY help from those more elightened than I...
