The OpenVMS VAX produced savesets, though even that was modified to 
produce bootable disk images with V6.0 and later; boot SYS1 from the 
distribution disk to get OpenVMS VAX.

AFAIK/IIRC, the output from OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 builds has 
always been disk images.

The disk images used on OpenVMS I64 are further specialized with an El 
Torito overlay, and that is not something that BACKUP can recreate, 
with or without /IMAGE.
