I have an older server I am still running that I had been running 
backups from a maintenance partition via a Jaz drive.  The Jaz drive 
recently died and as they are long in the tooth I am reluctant to 
replace it at this point.

I remembered the THINIFS/SRVIFS networking used for remote installations 
and was thinking that perhaps there would be a way that I could add that 
to my maintenance partition and use it to network to another system 
where I could save the backups.  This would require minimal changes to 
my backup scripts, simply replacing the drive letter of the Jaz drive 
with that of the networked drive.

Is there a package of this out there with documentation for this sort of 
application?  I should be able to crib from my server configuration 
files to get the network card information.

Dave
