I have a raw, cut down, simplified /n/dump which uses dossrv: http://home.fr.inter.net/boyd/code/plan9/dump.bundle I did this months ago so I could back up my stuff onto CD-R from Windows on a dual boot install. Sure, it's not /n/dump, but it looks like it. In 1992 (iirc) I grabbed a group of RA-90's [1 Gb, RDA-50 interface] and did a similar trick for short term backups and stored a month. Of course, over the top of it ran the usual dumps, but it was useful to have direct access to the stuff you had modified in the recent past. It got presented at a WIP at some random USENIX. It was implemented on ULTRIX, but was just a collection of scripts and a program [I needed to call ftw(3)] that managed the cycling of the directories on the RA-90's and to push people's home directories onto it. At the time, 4Gb gave us [PRL] a month of recently modified stuff.
