Hi, Has anyone got a program that will back up a Mac hard disk through the Kinetics FastPath to a UNIX machine? Either something that just runs through the FastPath or uses CAP/AUFS would be nice. I think there's one out there called "macdump", but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks, --Dave Curry davy@riacs.edu

We have macdump on merlin.cs.purdue.edu. You can get it by anonymous ftp from pub/mac/macdump.hqx. I'm not sure what's in macdump.hqx, but you can grab it and see what it does. Someone here has actually installed macdump, and it worked, but we don't use it. Steve Munson sbm@Purdue.EDU sbm@Purdue.CSNET ----------

It appears to be the client software and appears as a chooser option after you un- binhex the file and drag it into your system folder. BUT, I think there must be another part that acts as a server (and runs on a host running the CAP AppleShare server). Maybe there is some arcane option to set when running CAP. MacDump's hints section mentions that you need to register your volume on the MacDump server and you should see the MacDump administrator to do that. Does anyone know how you set up the server? We're already running CAP, so the question is: "What do you need to do in addition to installing CAP to set up a MacDump server?" Mark McCahill mpm@ux.acss.umn.edu mpm@UMNACVX

Check on mikey.bbn.com for the complete sources, client and server, for MacDump. It was written by Dan Tappan of BBN. -David Kovar

Thanks to Bill Sproule, who sent me the UNIX side of macdump, I now have all the pieces. You have to make a few minor changes to get it to compile with the CAP 5.0 libraries, but it's up and running now. For those who want it, both parts (the Mac side and the UNIX side) can be FTP'd anonymously from icarus.riacs.edu as "pub/macdump.shar.Z". --Dave
