On September 23 I posted the following message as a summary to my earlier
request for help with backups.

As several people have pointed out, etiquette required me to post at least
a summary of the responses I received. I apologize for not having done so
earlier.
The reference to the web page was from Colin Brooks. It contains a wealth
of information on dump and vdump and several scripts.
http://www.pacific.net/~cbrooks/backup.shtml
The responses with scripts duplicate the information in Colin's web page.
Thanks for your indulgence.
