just a very simple question, what does a command like
this do:
BACKUP MULTIA_V72.BCK/SAVE DVA0:/IMAGE/VERIFY
That takes a saveset (MULTIA_V72.BCK) and expands it
onto a floppy (DVA0:). It's an image backup and the
result at the end will be an ODS-2 formatted floppy
with files placed in the appropriate places (i.e. if
the original floppy that was backed up was bootable,
the result should be too).
I know basicaly what this does, my question is whether
the
.BCK file has some special format or whether UNIX command like this:
It's special (internal redundancy records and so on might be
in there - it was originally developed to save data on flakey
tapes).
If it's some special format, were it possible that
you issue
this command for me on some VMS and grab the diskette raw
file and make it available for me? the image is available at
http://www.kotelna.sk/freddy/multia_v72.bck > (1419264 bytes).
Can you zip it up so it's easier to download?
