$ INIT/SYSTEM will make the top level files (in particular 000000.DIR)
owned by [1,1].
Most of the other files normally are owned by [SYSTEM] or [1,4].
Depending on how the system disk was created, the files may wind up
being owned by [1,1] as files created in a directory often wind up being
owned by the same owner as the directory, going back to the owner of
[000000]000000.DIR. $ BACKUP to clone disks without /OWNER=ORIGINAL will
do this.
I don't think it matters.
