If you want to just store intermediately on another system, then my
encoding/decoding program is perfect. But most of the time, if you are
going to transfer between two RSX systems, you can just do it directly
instead, and FTP will do it right already.

Is there some kind of backup/archiving tool on rsx which you
could wrap files and metadata in?
Before transfer to bag-of-bytes systems?
Yes. I could certainly do that. However, that means someone would
need to write an unpacking tool from this format, and to then write
some "userful" output under a Unix system. But this would definitely
be doable.
