You have to boot Standalone backup either off tape or
a disk.
It's a bootable version of Backup, essentially a minimal VMS shell with
embedded backup.
Only proper way to backup a VMS system disk. How many RA9x drives do you
have?
Standalone backup can be built on and run from the system disk without
any problems.
You could do a BACKUP/PHYSICAL onto another RA9x
drive. Instant system
disk.
I'd recommend against /PHYSICAL. Instead, BACKUP/IMAGE.
