[comp.sys.next] Backup stratagies

jeffs@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (Jeff Schluep) (06/06/91)

	I am looking into backing up disks in a NeXT lab situation.  We
will have about 30-50 105 mb nextstations and a cube with a 1.4 gb 
disk.  I don't think that the 105 stations will have anything important
on them so I could just rebuild those from scratch.

	Does anybody out there have any good/bad experiences with a 
particular backup system?  Is anybody using 8mm or 4mm tapes to 
backup with?  Also, does anybody know of a NeXT front end for 
tar/dump so that a lab monitor could easily restore files?
