Backup Procedures
4.1 Using Standalone BACKUP
Substitute the device name of the system disk for ddcu. The device name of
the system disk is either DUAO or DUAl, depending on whether your system
disk is in the system box, or an expansion box. If you do not specify the
device name of the system disk, the system does a sniffer boot.
4. Standalone BACKUP displays the following message:
VAX/VMS Version V5.4 Major version id= 1 Minor version id= 0
5. The procedure might ask you for the date and time. Enter the date and time
using the 24-hour clock format and press Return. For example:
PLEASE ENTER DATE AND TIME (DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM) 19-JUN-1990 15:00
6. The procedure displays a list of the local devices on your system and, if you
have them, HSC and MSCP-served devices. For example:
Available device DUAO:
Available device MUAO:
device type Generic_DU
device type TK50
Check the list of devices. If the list is incomplete, make sure that all the
drives are properly connected to the system. See your hardware manuals for
details.

message followed by the dollar sign prompt (

To make a backup copy of the system disk, go to Section 4.2. To restore the
system disk, go to either Section 4.2.4 or Section 4.2.2.
4.1.3 Installing Standalone BACKUP on a Diskette
If your configuration includes a diskette drive, Digital recommends that you keep
standalone BACKUP on a diskette in case the system disk becomes damaged. To
install standalone BACKUP on an RX33 diskette, use the following procedure:
Note

If you have a diskette distribution kit, you should already have standalone
BACKUP on a diskette. If the original diskette becomes damaged or if
you need to make extra copies, use the procedure in this section.
1. Obtain one blank RX33 diskette. Write the name S/A BKUP V5.4 on the
paper label. Affix the paper label to the diskette.
2. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
3. Insert the diskette labeled S/A BKUP V5.4 in the diskette drive.
4. Enter the following command and press Return:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT
Note ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you inserted the diskette in to the drive upside down, or if it is
improperly aligned, you may receive the following error message:
