MicroVAX/station 2000 stuff

In doing some experimenting with the RX33 attached to my MicroVAX 2000 -
now with hard disk, I built the Standalone Backup disk package as
recommended by Allison and Tim. A useful exercise, as I have learned a
bit about DCL in the process of 'fumbling around'.

The resulting three disks will boot up the system and bring up Backup 5.5,
or thereabouts. But when I undertake to do a backup/image/verify to
floppy, I get the error message:

"%BACKUP-F-CLUSTER, unsuitable cluster factor for DUA2:"

Since I formatted the disks using T 70 I would assume that they are to
MicroVAX/VMS standard. How do I get around this roadblock?

Incidentally, Tim, I do not intend to really use floppies for backup. I
have a TK50Z. But, if I can get a better understanding of how they may be
used, they may prove useful in getting software into the little bugger.
