Bootable floppy?

A VMS installation is way too large for a single floppy, of course. I think a VMS distribution or backup onto floppies is about as cruel as the Wagner ring cycle on 45's! But if you're into self-abuse and huge piles of floppy disks, it is possible. It is possible, of course. Boot VMS, log in as the system manager, and do a @SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT to build the standalone backup tool on floppies. You can then do a backup of the system disk onto floppies (preferably using the STABACKIT kit you just generated to test your copy of standalone backup). But if at all possible, get a tape drive! -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
