[Info-vax] Preserving the essence of a system...

I am trying to compile a list of files that give the system its
"identity", and have those recorded for posterity in text form.


Anyone I have forgotten ?

Core:

	SYS$STARTUP_VMS.COM (and custom file it calls)
	SYLOGICALS.COM
	SYLOGIN.COM
	SYS$ANNOUNCE, SYS$WELCOME

	Anything "SYSTARTUP"
	
	The SYSGEN file (VAXVMSSYS.PAR on VAX for instance)
	MODPARAMS.DAT

Can one get NCP to generate a "command file" that could recreate itself
  for the DECnet config ? (does NETCONFIG.COM parse the NCP stuff or
does it start from scratch ?)

How would one do the same for TCPIP services ?

I know that I need to catch some of the /etc (oops, already in unix
mode... I meant TCPIP$ETC ) files (sysconfigtab if I recall).

What else should one preserve ?
