[Simh] Converting VMS BACKUP saveset file to SIMH tape file

[Rob Jarratt]

I have some C# code which may do this. If I can find the code would you like
to give it a go?

 

Regards

Hi

I have a number of VMS BACKUP savesets that were created as disk files on my
VAX host, and then FTP-ed in BINARY mode to a PC.

What's the easiest way to convert them into SIMH magtape files so that they
can be accessed by VMS running within SIMH as tape-based savesets ?

I'm trying to avoid having to FTP the savesets into my emulated VAX's disk
filesystem.

Are there any VMS BACKUP command qualifiers I should use to make the
savesets "more compatible" when they're converted to SIMH magtape files ?

Thanks in advance

Jason
