- The CAP library does contain the routines necessary to implement the
- client side of AFP. Check out the "ash" program in the samples
- directory - it can connect fo an AFP server, list directories, change
- directories, and get and put files.
-
- It's rather primitive in its current form, but you could use it as the
- basis for a tool which would descend through the directory hierarchy and
- read and dump files to tape.
-
- An alternative solution would be to use the Dumper package, which allows
- a Mac disk to be dumped to a Unix-disk dumpfile or (with some patches
- applied) directly to a Unix tapedrive. You can pick up the current
- official release of Dumper (a.k.a. macdump) from the anonymous-FTP
- fileserver at BBN.COM; the patches needed to support direct tape
- dumping were recently posted in this newsgroup.
