vos dump  root.afs.readonly | vos restore -server uscobrmfa-ub-17 -part a -name root.afs 
vor rele -v root.afs

vos dump  root.cell.readonly | vos restore -server uscobrmfa-ub-17 -part a -name root.cell 
vor rele -v root.cell

Or something like this ... do "vos dump -help" and "vos restore -help" for
more info.
