[OpenAFS] offsite backup

[Noel Burton-Krahn]

Well, thanks again!

I will check out dumpscan.  I don't suppose you've tried compiling your
dumpscan under windows?  It doesn't look like dumptool will compile under
windows.  Sigh.

"vos dump" looks good, but another glitch:   You have to be an AFS admin to
dump any volume, including your home.  It would be nice to be able to dump
any files you have read access to, but I guess AFS can't tell the
permissions at a volume level.  I'd like all regular users to be able to
dump their home.

I think I'm back to rsync.
