Thanks to all that pointed me to the vmsbackup utility for reading VMS Backup
save sets on DU, especially Richard Abraham who sent me a copy!
Now, when I try to read a VMS backup tape I get the following output...
Volume: WEEKLY
Saveset name: WEEK1.1 number: 1
Snark: Invalid header block size
I know the block size for the backup is 8192. Is this a problem? Do I have to
use a different block size when doing the backup in VMS? I sure hope not,
because I have a bunch of tapes written with this block size (the default) and
would like to be able to read them.
Thanks for any help or hints you may have.
Brad
