Somehow, I don't think they were asking how to backup the
Kerberos principal database itself...
We also have been searching for a backup/archival/HSM package that
knows about something other than vanilla-NFS (i.e., Kerberized
NFS and esp. AFS). We've been trying to twist some vendors'
arms on this, but no results so far... :(
