Here's a question somewhat related. As mentioned
previously,
I had two Maxtor XT-8380E hard disks in my MicroVAX II, but removed
one of them to put the TK-50 in the machine. I've never gotten the
TK-50 working correctly though and would like to use the second hard
disk to back up the data that's on the one that is still in the
machine. It is running VMS 4.6. What is the best way of mirroring
the first drive on the second, regardless of what might be on the
second? I'll likely pull the second drive back out after copying the
data over to it. Without any kind of media or a working TK-50, this
is really the only option I have for backing up the data and
restoring it in case of a problem later on.
Easy run INIT the target disk and run standalone backup with /image
from dua0: to duan: I generally do that. You can close
the OS that
way too but only if you dont fully configure it first. Run HELP for
details.
