- I have one of those idle questions that I can't answer and just can't forget.
-
- In section 30.2.3.3.1 of the I&DS it says that VMB is one of the few files
- that is located by an absolute LBN (in the boot block) and is not free to be
- moved on our VAX 6000 system disk without running WRITEBOOT.
-
- When a system disk is restored from backup, does BACKUP somehow preserve the
- LBN of VMB.EXE or does it perform the functions of WRITEBOOT? Obviously it
- does something, or you couldn't boot from a restored system disk.
