   Yes, but not too practical, unfortunately.  This implies that all your
   software knows about AFS ...  Then we'd have to wait for the version that
   runs on DFS...

Depends on the savings you get. When our vos backupsys for the cell
started taking 12-14 hours a day, we wrote a "smarter" vos backupsys, 
so that it only backs up the touched volumes. We then shorten the
backupsys time to 1-2 hours, and it's only 121 lines of perl.
