[OpenAFS] offsite backup

[Noel Burton-Krahn]

Thanks for the tip!  vos dump and dumptool look good, but dumptool seems
limited to extracting one file at a time.  Can dumptool act more like tar?
I'd love something like this:

vos dump $VOLNAME -time $LAST_BACKUP_TIME | dumptool --extract-all

If not, how about I modify dumptool?
