[OpenAFS] vos dump based backup scripts

[Matthew E Hoskins - SAGE AFS]

Hey Dan, this is EXACTLY what we do.  I have a perl script that handles 
full and rotating differential backups of all our AFS volumes.  It dumps 
them into a directory structure based on the volume name.  That way i 
create a number of netbackup policies (or classes to use the old 
nomenclature) based on the data in the volumes.   It can run on any 
server with a KeyFile.   The perl script has worked for many years very 
well.   Here is the latest version:
