Any body has a (PD) backup program that works on files (not
filesystems) and supports multivolumea?

I have a custom rewrite of an early GNUtar that supports multivolume
floppy output following SCO Xenix conventions.  It runs under MSDOS,
SCO Xenix, and 4.3 BSD.

Pax is a tar AND cpio clone. It is fast, fairly well written, and very
convenient to use. It has been posted recently.
