Thanks you all for the patience !
So, let me see if I've understood well...

1) I have a bootable tape set with VMS 5.5 (two tapes)
2) I backup them on a virtual unit (disk image)
3) The image is readable and bootable by simh.

Last thing: to transfer data from the tape to the virtual unit I must use 
BACKUP or a normal COPY MUA0: ... ?
The tapes have not savesets and BACKUP refuse to manage them...
