Something tangential to the backup product discussion that I would like to 
toss out there - if any enterprising developers would like to come up with 
a native file copy command that acts purely server side, it would be so 
great.  The frustration in copying a 500MB file from one AFS location to 
another in the same cell (or at least on the same server), knowing that all 
the bytes are travelling up the wire to the poor old workstation whose only 
job is to send them back again, is palpable.
