We are looking for a utility to do incremental (daily) backups.  We
have a Tops network including a Sun and would like to use the Sun
disk to store these daily backups.  (We have a cartridge drive which
is sneakered around to individual machines to do full backups.)

What we would like is an application which would search a disk for all
files modified since a specified date, and copy those files (in Finder
format) to another disk/folder (on a Tops mounted volume on the Sun in
our case).  All the backup utilities I have seen so far are set up to
allow incremental backups only after first creating a full backup and
these are usually not Finder copies.

I have called around to the local suppliers, but no one knows of a
utility which can do what we want.  Any leads are very much
appreciated.

Thanks,
Cliff
