Actually, VMS power-fail stowage and recovery are remarkably similar
to how a laptop goes into hibernate.
The quote from the VMS internals book is by Virginia Woolf:
For there are moments when one can neither think nor feel.
And if one can neither think nor feel, she thought, where is one?
On configurations with supported power-fail recovery, one of the
steps is to read the RTC on recovery. It's been a while since I
had a system with power-fail recovery (11/730 with battery backup,
probably circa VMS 4.5) but I think it's still in there.
Tim.
