[comp.sys.mac.system] MacDump

grahams@milton.u.washington.edu (Stephen Graham) (01/30/91)

A summary of the situation: I'm looking for a way to back-up
MacOS disks to a Unix-based tape drive.

I've been told by various people on comp.unix.aux that an utility
called MacDump exists that will perform an incremental dump via
MacTCP. Does anyone know where I might find a copy of this or
some similar utility?

Thanks in advance.

I was told of a site that has it:  ucsd.edu (128.54.16.1).  Again, if I'm 
running the Mac side of this software and someone else at my site compiles
and runs the unix side, they can back up my hard drive, even if what I've
compiled on the unix box is only runable by myself.  I use a tape drive for
my Macs, and there are other methods available.  Still, this could be useful
to someone who has a different situation.
