We back up our two Sun 3/60 workstations to a CDC Cyber 840 by using the standard "dump" command with the output directed to a NFS-mounted file on the Cyber. We do incremental dumps every night and full dumps once per week. It's all automatic - controlled by a crontab entry. This is a very efficient way of doing it - we can back up 100 megabytes in about 25 minutes, all unattended. You also have to back up the root partition to tape once in a while in case you have to do a full restore. Try it, you'll like it! - Bob Fillmore
