A VMS installation is way too large for a single floppy, of course.
I think a VMS distribution or backup onto floppies is about as cruel
as the Wagner ring cycle on 45's! But if you're into self-abuse
and huge piles of floppy disks, it is possible.
>If it is possible, what is the procedure?
It is possible, of course. Boot VMS, log in as the system manager,
and do a _at_SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT to build the standalone backup tool
on floppies. You can then do a backup of the system disk onto floppies
(preferably using the STABACKIT kit you just generated to test your
copy of standalone backup). But if at all possible, get a tape drive!
