I figured out pre-initializing the tape by trial and error, but now I'm stuck at
knowing how to respond when I get the OPCON request for another tape. The system drive has
too much data for one tape, but at least I managed to make it through writing one tape.

Very good progress.
Suggest you initialize and mount the tapes first, then do the backup.
$init mta0:/density=1600 JUN2015
$mount mta0: JUN2015
Substitute your actual tape device name for mta0: and need to use /density as
applicable.

I meant:
$ spawn /nowait @sys$system:startup.com
(sorry)
Aha! Now I understand.
Ok, I have the SYSTEM password reset, and the license pak installed. Next task is to
perform backups. First attempt to do that has presented my next learning opportunity:
How do I respond to tape mount requests on the same console where I'm running BACKUP?
When I get the request asking whether to create a new tape volume, it doesn't seem to
respond to terminal input.
