[OpenAFS] Some questions about AFS backups

[Mike Aldrich]

Thanks,
Although, when I try to append the initial /sunday dump with 'backup dump=
=20
<volset> /sunday/monday 0 -append', the butc process is looking for a tap=
e=20
labeled 'volset.monday.1'. The tape in the drive has the label=20
volset.sunday.1. Any idea why the -append flag isn't working correctly?
Thanks
Mike
