- There is a vmsbackup program, looking with archie I see it is available at several
- sites first in the list being umigw.miami.edu. We have had this working on a Convex
- and SUN. I didn't succeed on our 420 at 3.3.3L but suspect better luck would be had
- at version 4. This site also has a Makefile.sgi I see.

- Good luck
