some pointers:
First create a directory e.g. DUA2:[LAYERED_PRODUCTS]
then restore using "backup vms073lp.bck /save_set dua2:[LAYERED_PRODUCTS...]" 
(N.B. the ellipsis)

Any file in the form *.PCSI is a "product" kit,
  use "product install <kit-name>" if you want to install that particular kit 
(c.f. "HELP PRODUCT")

A set of files with names <kit-name>.% where "%" is a letter is a VMSINSTAL kit.
Set def to the kit's location, and use "@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL <kit-name" to 
install a single product, or "@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL *" to see a menu.
