I have no idea if RT-11 has a native utility that permits making a
disc image.

copy/device with one other option I don't remember off the top of my head

I notice there aren't any RL01 disk images up
there.

PDP-11 software is still being sold (in theory..)

New subject: TU-58 connection to 11/03?
Vince Slyngstad just pointed out to me that there's a TU-58 (DECtape)
emulator that runs on a PC and can be used to transfer data in/out of
a PDP-11 to a modern PC.
Supposedly this is just connecting the PC to a serial port. However,
on my PDP-11/03, I only know about the serial ports for the console
and line printer options. Where is the serial port for the TU-58?

If you have a DLV11-J on your 11/03, the 11/03 goes on the highest
numbered port. If all you have are DL11-Es, you have to re-strap it
to appear at the right CSR for the TU58 driver to see it where it
expects.

My 11/03 wants to know. :)

Now that I'm more awake and thinking about it, I'm not as certain
which port is strapped by default for the TU-58 driver, but if the
console is on port 0, then plug the TU-58 into 3. If the console is
on 3, try port 1 or 2.

OK, cool.
This matters a lot, because the second RX02 drive on my 11/03 is
showing signs of alignment problems, and I really don't have the tools
or the skills to fix it.

I'll have to check the modules on my machine, but if I recall
correctly it has the console module that has 1 serial port and the
asynchronous SLU module for the printer. Is there another serial port
lurking on the console module that I don't know about?

No... they are obvious... sounds like you have a KDF-11B, if I
remember the numbers correctly.
I was talking about a DLJ11-V - a 4-port dual-height card that was
common in 11/03s and dual-height 11/23 systems (KDF-11A)... one port
was strapped to be the console, and the other three had "standard"
addresses that meant that in a typical system, you only had to worry
about baud rate and parity jumpers to put the card to full use.
In the case of your CPU card, you might or might not have to re-strap
the CSR and vector of the secondary port to make it useful to talk to
a TU-58 or TU-58 emulator. Perusal of the handbooks will clarify
what's needed (I've never done it, but it shouldn't be too hard).

IIRC, I have the console port on one card and a printer port on a
second card. I'll have to make a list of the module numbers and
update my collection web page so I can remember this stuff without
access to the HW ;-).
