	While there is no LAVC style common backup technique, you can 
accomplish the same task via RDUMP/RRESTORE  which simply allow you to
run DUMP/RESTORE over the network (tcp/ip rxxx style) to a tape/disk on a
remote node.  I am pretty sure ultrix supports it (it supports rwho, ruptime,
and rlogin...).  We've used it often when our TU77 would crap out.  Speeds
over the ether from a 750 to an 8600 with/ Tu78's was roughly equivalent
to the local TU79 (bottleneck was CPU anyway).
