[mod.computers.vax] standalone backup on uVAX-II

PORTIA@csvax.caltech.edu@engvax.UUCP (12/05/86)

We have a uVAX-II with the following configurations:

a tk-50 tape drive (MUA0)
a cipher-m990 9 track tape drive. (MSA0)
a ra81 disk

the cipher tape drive is ts-11 compatible. We do image backup of the only
disk to the 9 track tape ONLINE. But we could not restore the tape to the disk
online, since we only have one disk drive.
Standalone backup complained about not able to find TSDRIVER, and would
not recognize the device MSA0:

does anyone know how to build standalone backup such that the tape drive is
recognized?

thanks in advance for any advise.
