I'll try this as soon as I get home!

In standalone backup the only valid command is "BACKUP". "Mount" is not
recognized as a valid command (neither is HELP, if they'd added this then
I wouldn't have had to ask on the list!).

With a simple backup or backup/image from dla0: to dua0:, it goes for
about 1 minute, copying a bunch of stuff, then complains twice
(paraphrased) Cannot access dla0:vms052.b;1: device not mounted" and
returning to the $ prompt.

Thanks! I'll let you know,

Kevin
