I'd like to try it, at least use it as read-only replica server for
backup purpose.

The question is what are the commands to use? The afs-newcell script
on Linux uses more commands than what is available in OpenAFS/Windows.
Do you mind to share a simple list of commands or steps that I could
try? Just give me the commands/quick steps and I can always look up
the manual.

Thanks,
Xiong
