Dear Knowledgeable Ones:

My department has several IBM pc or clones mixed in with the
unix machines that populate the place.  Since we already have
operators on duty to maintain the unix boxes, I would like
to be able for them to help those with pc's as well.  Is there
any software that will allow remote dumping of PC's by remote
operators? 

The pc systems are all using DOS 5.0 & MS Win 3.1 for the system.
They are all running FTP's tcp/ip+ for the connection, which does
allow for tarring to a tape or file, but the operation must be started
from the pc console, something I have been unable to convice
our operators to take on, and have not recieved timely & reliable
dumps from the individuals running the pc's.  I would like
to be able to continue running with the MS Windows on the machine
and for everything to appear as invisible as possible to the
person at the console.

Maybe there is something that will allow for a pc's harddisk to
be mounted and then dumped?  I do not know what there would be
for such software, but I would sure like to hear from some people
that have solved this backup problem.
