We need more control over our generation of backup volumes than the
'vos backupsys' command provides (even with the new -exclude option).

One option is to create a script which uses some algorithm to generate
a list of volumes to be cloned and then invokes the 'vos backup' command
for each one.

Is there any significant loss of efficiency in using 'vos backup' rather
than 'vos backupsys'?

I would appreciate it if sites which currently use such scripts would
email me a copy.
