- Although I suspect it's a bit Rube Goldbergish I use dump to backup
- file systems on Ultrix/Bugtrix to NFS mounted disks on my VAXCluster
- running TGV MULTINET. The dumps then go out to tape with VMS BACKUP.
- COPY has record length problems. It works.
-
- I've never heard of tapes being defined as an NFS mounted object.
- MSCP has the same problem in VMS; no tapes.
