I need to dump gigabytes of disk to some form of backup storage
such as a cartridge tape or WORM.  Am interested getting at least
one gigabyte per operator intervention.  Does anyone have
any suggestions on how to do this with an RT?

Charlie,

You'd think that someone has an Exabyte, uses it to dump a disk farm
with AIX as well as IBM/4.3 servers, and perhaps even uses an RT to
drive it, in lieu of a (machine)... If no one else has tried we can
call up Exabyte and its competitors.

I bought one to dump the dozen or so Sun 3/180 and 3/280 file servers
at my facility at SRI. The 2gb covered a lot of incrementals - though
I daisy chained the incrementals and did disk-to-disk dumps and just
had the weeklies moved to cassette.
