Back in the pre-RISC days there used to be a command called FULLBACKUP
that would (you know what comes next) perform a full backup of your
system. It had a companion command called PARTBACKUP that backed up all
files that had been modified since the last FULLBACKUP. These commands
were dropped when MPE/XL was released.

I seem to remember there was an article in one of the communicators
around that time that documented how to replace these commands with
UDC's. I think that somebody also created a UDC/command file to
implement these commands.

One method:
Do a full backup each cycle and use touch to mark a last-backup-date
file, then use "store ;dates>=..." to backup files since that date.
