[PLUG] Backing Up Multiple Machines

   I want to confirm that if I want filesystems on a second workstation to be
backed up on tape in a drive installed on another box, then the filesystems
must be exported from the remote system and nfs-mounted on the system with
the tape drive. Is this correct?

   I think I need to modify my cron jobs so they mount the exported
filesystems before running the backup, then umount them afterwards.

Thanks,

Rich
