Dear Alpherites

I have a small problem. I am planning an upgrade of a OSF/1 v2.0 system
to DU40.d this coming weekend.

My problem is that in the case of a catastrophic failure, I would need to
restore the original configuration. Fine everyone says. Boot off the CD
and restore the data from your dumps.

I don't have a OSF/1 V2.0 CD!!

This system was installed a few years ago and with an organisational
re-adjustment, the media has disappeared into a black hole.

One saving grace is that 4.0d is going onto a new 2Gb disk retaining the
original boot disk.

This requirement is that of total disaster. I'm a pessimist - if it can
go wrong, it will!

Your help is much appreciated.

Simon Millard
