O.K., may be I should keep the disk for now. Soon I will backup
to a tape. Seems like this disk isn't full, so may be one or
two reels would do for now. What is the correct backup command
for VMS to give to back up the whole system disk to (possibly
multiple volumes of) tape such that I can wipe out the disk
afterwards?
