        I use amanda to back up Irix clients (Onyx racks).  However, I have
chosen to back up filesystems, not devices:

b52             /data/cvsroot/          nocomp-user     eth0
b52             /etc/                   nocomp-user     eth0
b52             /usr/people/            nocomp-user     eth0


        It works fine, although I couldn't get the SGI freeware working right,
so I compiled from source.
