Hi all,

as a mainly VMS user I have no problems with backups. The whole
information about the disk structure is contained in the backup
volume.

Now I had to replace a bad system disk with a new one. What I did
- disklabel the new disk
  (of course I didn't find the right partition layout at the first
  attempt -although I had some written information)
- mkfdmn,mkfset for / and /usr
  (requires to know if these are advfs or not)
- vrestore / and /usr
As it looks like it worked, but

Is there not an easier way, where I don't need so much "external"
information?

Thanks and regards
Otto
