O.K., may be I should keep the disk for now. Soon I will backup
to a tape. Seems like this disk isn't full, so may be one or
two reels would do for now. What is the correct backup command
for VMS to give to back up the whole system disk to (possibly
multiple volumes of) tape such that I can wipe out the disk
afterwards?
Thanks,

You have to
boot Standalone backup either off tape or a disk.
It's a bootable version of Backup, essentially a minimal VMS shell with
embedded backup.
Only proper way to backup a VMS system disk. How many RA9x drives do you
have?
Standalone backup can be built on and run from the system disk without
any problems.
You could do a BACKUP/PHYSICAL onto another RA9x
drive. Instant system
disk.
I'd recommend against /PHYSICAL. Instead, BACKUP/IMAGE.
