2.
Boot the operating system media, following the instructions for OpenVMS Integrity servers
in
, and for OpenVMS Alpha in
3.
Use the menu system to enter the DCL environment (option 8).
4.
Mount the system device and the target device on which you will make the backup copy.
(If you are backing up to tape, skip to the next step.) For example, if your system disk is on
DKA0: and the target device is on DKA100:, you might use the following commands. The
/OVERRIDE qualifier used in this example allows you to mount the system disk without
entering its volume label. The /FOREIGN qualifier is required for the target disk when you
use the BACKUP /IMAGE command.
$$$ MOUNT /OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA0:
$$$ MOUNT /FOREIGN DKA100:
5.
To back up the system disk to a magnetic tape, enter the following commands, where MTA0:
is the magnetic tape drive and label is the volume label. Note that the BACKUP command
automatically mounts the tape and begins the backup to it.
$$$ INITIALIZE MTA0: label
$$$ MOUNT /OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA0:
$$$ BACKUP /IMAGE /LOG DKA0: MTA0:label.BCK
6.
To back up to a device other than a magnetic tape drive, enter the BACKUP command. For
example, if your system disk is on DKA0: and your target disk is on DKA100:, use the
following command (the colons are required):
$$$ BACKUP /IMAGE /LOG DKA0: DKA100:
The /IMAGE qualifier causes the Backup utility to produce a functionally equivalent copy
of the system disk, which is also bootable. The /LOG qualifier causes the procedure to display
the specification of each save set file being processed. To compare the backed up files to the
source files, use the /VERIFY qualifier. If any discrepancies are detected, the Backup utility
displays an error message indicating the discrepancies.
7.
Log out from the DCL environment.
8.
Shut down the system by selecting option 9 on the menu.

method that does not require booting from the operating system media, see
