	I also wanted rdump since I like to backup machines over the network
to an exabyte drive rather than my concurrent's cartridge.  I called concurrent
support a few months ago asking about rdump for my masscomp 6750.  They said
that they had no plans to make rdump available since their seemed to be no
great demand for it.  We started using "find | cpio | rsh " but I found that
the find program supplied by concurrent was buggy and failed when using -local
and -mount options together.  Even after reporting the bug and getting a fix
we still had problems.

	The solution was to use gnutar.  It handles devices and also uses rmt
like rdump for remote machines.  It doesn't output nice statistics during the
dump and its not as nifty doing restores but I prefer it to cpio.
