[Info-vax] Copying savesets over DECnet

[Antonio Carlini]

I'm trying to recover some savesets from DLTIII tapes. I've got a working drive and a working tape but I seem to be hitting other issues.

I've temporarily set up a bound volume set that I think might be big enough to hold the saveset ... but since everything else has failed, I expect that this will too.

So my fallback was going to be to copy the saveset from tape to a remote node that has (much) more diskspace.

My attempt was less than successful:

$ copy/log mka500:*.* 1.51"system password"::DUA1:[DISK$USER_OBJ]
%COPY-E-WRITEERR, error writing 1.51"system password"::DUA1:[DISK$USER_OBJ]OBJ.BCK;1
-RMS-E-NETBTS, network buffer too small for 8192 byte record
%COPY-W-NOTCMPLT, MKA500:[]OBJ.BCK;1 not completely copied


Now I'm sure there's a way of fixing this but as I stopped using VMS on a daily basis in ~2004 I seem to have forgotten how to fix that! Any reminders would be gratefully accepted.

For the record, I realise that COPY isn't the _correct_ way to do this, it might trip up on read errors and the like, but if it _does_ work then I will have the saveset as required.

Many thanks for any hints,

Antonio
