Bill;
Do I understand you correctly to say that what you are proposing will
create a backup of DL0: on DL1:? While this is not exactly what they want
to do, I suspect that it will serve their purposes even better than what I
was hoping could be accomplished. Again, if I am following correctly, all
they need is a bootable disk and the disk containing the latest saved image
inorder to restore the system if a crash should occur.
Again, there really isn't any way for me to test this….. my system does
not have but one disk, is an 11/73 and is running RSX 4.2. Theirs' is an
11/34 running RSX 3.2 with two DLs. And before asking, no they can't
upgrade as our experiance is that the RSX upgrades are not sufficiently
compatable with the older versions to work. Now, they could buy the newer
machine with new software but then anyone holding on to an 11/34 is not
likely a prospect for a new 11……
Thanks again, and sorry about the delay in getting back to you.
