Guys,

I'm trying to find the 'best' way to archive the contents of the CDROMs, 
and failing to find a solution.

Using COPY DKA400:[000000...]*.*;* DSA3:[MEDIA.VAX_MEDIA.path...]*.*;* 
works but doesn't preseve the timestamps.

The obvious solution is to use BACKUP, but a command such as:

BACKUP/VERIFY DKA400:[000000...] DSA3:[MEDIA.VAX_MEDIA.path...]

which is what the help would have you believe does the right thing doesn't 
work - you get a weird file structure where files in subdirectories are 
created in the top of the destination and the directory structure is only 
partially created.

Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

Cheers, Mark.
