Does anyone out there know of versions of dump and restor
that will work through modems and phone lines?  I know this
sounds strange but I have a microcomputer running Unix and
my only means of doing backups right now is [unreliable]
floppy disks.  I would sure like to be able to dump my
filesystem up to a VAX in the wee hours of the morning
through the phone lines and take advantage of the packet
driver in UUCP to assure correct transmission.

Thanks,
