Right. I give my backup machine a keypair to the 'operator' account
on my other machines through which it runs the dumps. I bought a
cheap high capacity IDE drive for the backup machine big enough to
hold the dumps to avoid having to direct them to the tape in real
time, which saves a lot on tape drive wear.
