   BACKUP has never failed me, going back to VMS 1.x on an 11/780.   I 
   don't recall exactly when in there the ability to get to 16 directory 
   levels was implemented for ODS-2 via rooted logicals, it might have
   been in some minor version that we skipped, but I don't recall a
   problem or a fix.  I think the ability to deal with it was added
   to BACKUP before the capability to have it shipped.

   I very much recall using rooted logicals with no depth problems under
   VMS 5.2 through 5.5-2.

   And yes, I do recall using DSC2 before BACKUP got /IMAGE.
