- Hello,
-
- Does anyone know how to suppress BACKUP's automatic volume recognition and
- automatic volume mount mechanism?
-
- I have a device driver which lets a VAX use a tape drive on a remote
- system. Unfortunately, when a BACKUP operation reaches end-of-tape,
- rewinds and unloads, the drive receives the mount request from BACKUP
- and immediately loads the first tape back in and overwrites it.
-
- What I'm looking for is a way to get BACKUP to behave as it did in the
- old VMS 4.x days - prompt the user for volume changes - on VMS 5.4.
-
- Alternatively, is there any way to run the old v4.7 BACKUP.EXE on
- VMS 5.x?
-
- Thanks
- Jon
