Yes, I would like to restore a file archived on a Unix system to an INtel
desktop platform.

I'm looking for a more general archiving system which allows to store data
for a longer time. If this time is longer than e..g 5 years the system on
which the file was archived would probably no longer exist. The users of the
archive system would have to identify themselves to the archiving system in
an adequate way. Using a security service like DCE or Kerberos could be a
solution.
