[Info-vax] Backup TK50 tapes

[supervinx]

Well, let's see again what I've understood...
1) Bootable VMS installation tapes cannot be duplicated easily.
2) Once extracted all the savesets (and the binaries) a bootable tape needs 
to be reconstructed by hand. Physically or virtually.
3) A bootable tape boots with a subset of VMS which will restore the savesets.
3) If I want a physical tape copy I need a SCSI tape unit and another OS, 
along with tapecopy/tapedd.

So, my idea to boot simh from 5.5 tape images and install VMS is a bit
hard to realize...
