Hi All: I have acquired 4 RL02 packs with the VMS 5.2 distribution on them. The first one boots into standalone backup (>>> B DLA0) but I need to know how to start the installation procedure. I have some very basic docs on standalone backup, but a simple BACKUP DLA0: DUA0: fails with a couple of "device not mounted" errors. There's apparently a save set called VMS052.B on the first drive this filename is reported in the two "device not mounted" errors. BACKUP DLA0:VMS052.B DUA0: also fails as the /IMAGE qualifier is being assumed by the standalone backup utility, and of course /IMAGE requires only a device name. Any help appreciated!
