Thanks, I will read that. But how do I enter the reply command when the BACKUP program is
hogging the console? Is there a VMS equivalent to the way a task can be suspended in UNIX
with ^Z?

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.
Maybe this would apply here? I have never used this myself.

of the three qualifiers shown in Table 9?16. For more information
