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.
