We will soon be adding 3 RA-81's ( > 1 gigabyte) to one of our System V machines. Backups by volcopy to tape would be untenable. We see incremental backups as inevitable. We tried using finc and frec, but they try to read all the inodes into core and that doesn't work with reasonable sized filesystems (say 160Kb). Has anybody got a good incremental backup scheme that will work in the limited virtual memory space (1Mb) of System V? Please send all leads. I'll end up porting Berkeley's dump and restore commands if someone else hasn't already done so.
