I wrote a C program that ran as a filter to do the checksumming, and
the rest was ksh, find, cpio, rsh (for the remote hosts), dd, date,
mt, and so forth. It ran under SunOS (one of the other hosts was SCO),
but I'm sure it would be doable on any Unix-like system.

If your hard drive crashes, perhaps you have a recent backup. If Earth
crashes, what then? We need off-site backup: Luna, L5, Mars, wherever.
