My original question:

>>
>> I was wondering why vdump tries to backup /proc when I tell it
>> to backup /. It doesn't try to backup any other file systems !
>>

The solution:

        It's a known problem. My local support center sent me the
following two patches:

OSF350-163-tar.Z.uu
OSF350-170-tar.Z.uu


        Another possibility:

umount /proc
vdump ...
mount /proc
