Well, first off glad to see Charm Net's going to upgrade. But to the problem. You could do something as simple as mounting the drives under NFS. You could back them up to tape using cpio under UnixWare, then use pax to bring it in ( see the cpio script in the /sco/bin directory in BSDI 2.1 ). Or you could archive the data into single files, then ftp it over ( be sure to pull, not push the data files.)
