Backup can do that right?   I don't have to right disk images to disk in
VMS too often. ;)

No.   This is what I've done to write tape images to tapes:
$ INIT/ERASE MUA0: ""
$ MOUNT/FOREIGN/BLOCK=512 MUA0:
$ COPY <filename> MUA0:
$ DISMOUNT/UNLOAD MUA0:

Can anyone (Brian S?) say if this will work with disk as the
destination device as well?   I'd guess yes, but I haven't done it
myself, at least not recently enough that I remember.

Crap.   My only good disk (the quantum was DEAD++ it seems) is just about 60M too small.   Which is weird as the drive says it's 2G despite on the casing.

Meaning I can either copy the files off manually to a blank disk...or I can stick with VMS 6.3 instead of 7.3. ;)



I did check the jumpers...none indicate a size limit

So:

$ mou/for dka100:
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, TEST mounted on _VAXLET$DKA100:
$ copy vaxvms062.iso dka100:

I can find a way to get to 7.3 later...or maybe i'll just stick with 6.2.
