First:
$ help copy
$ help backup
$ help files
under vms should be helpful as it nominally goes down to examples.
< Distant memory time... As far as copying files to the tape, did you

< $ INIT MSA0: TEST !TEST being the volume name assigned to the tape
That is correct.
< $ MOUNT MSA0: TEST !tape "mounts", and is given the logical name
< "TEST".
It's mount/foreign msa0:
< $ COPY DUA0:[MYDIRECTORY]FILENAME.EXT TEST:FILENAME.EXT !file spec is
< an example.......
$backup/log/image DUA0: MSA0:test.bak/sav
<
< /FOREIGN, and use
< "BACKUP".
Yep!
A tape from a PDP-11 would ahve to be mounted foreign as it's a non
files-11 format.
