[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Backing up a PC over a network?

dhinds@portia.Stanford.EDU (David Hinds) (03/04/90)

    I want to back up my PC's hard disk to a networked Unix machine.  I
have Stanford's PC/IP package, and a Western Digital W8003E ethernet card.
Is there an easy way to do this?  Is there a better way than the brute
force approach - creating a directory tree on the Unix machine matching
that on my hard disk, and piping a list of all files on the hard drive
through FTP in either direction?  Are there any public domain utilities
for handling this?  I'll eventually be putting the files out to tape from
the Unix machine.
