Thanks for the response, and sorry for the delay in my response.
That may be easy, but it's not really what I wanted.  I'd prefer
something that ran on my existing backup server.

Ah, that sounds promising.  I'll investigate further, but it may be
exactly what I wanted.  I see that ZnapZend already has an OI package,
making it easy to install.

I had been using zetaback, from OmniTI.  It also has an OI package.
I may continue to use that product.
