I'm assuming you're using at least one of the RL01's as a removeable disk.
That is, it's off line most of the time.  If so, get two RL01 disk packs,
and do the following:

	Shutdown to single user mode.
	Put the first pack in the RL01.
	Issue the command:

	    dd if=rrl0h of=rrlxh bs=5120 count=1000
	    (note.            ^  Substitute the drive number of
		the RL01 here ^ .)

	When that's done, replace the RL01 pack with the second one and do:

	    dd if=rrl0h of=rrlxh bs=5120 skip=1000

	If you ever need to restore, then switch the little drive number
	buttons on the RL's, boot off the backup RL01, and reverse the
	dd commands.

I hope this helps.
