[comp.os.vms] BACKUP/RESTORE verify errors on uVAX 2000

  Hey folks, it seems to me that I might have noticed a little traffic on this 
topic, but until last night, I paid no attention.

  A friend has been doing standalone image BACKUP/RESTORE operations on his 
uVAX 2000 to clean up the disk file structure. A reasonable, DEC-supported way 
to go, right?

  Hitch: every time he does a RESTORE, he gets a VERIFY error on block 1 of 
the QUOTA.SYS file.

  If I were to guess, I'd say it seems reasonable that the restore operation
might affect INDEXF.SYS; after all, the physical file layout will be
different. But QUOTA.SYS? 

  Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone know WHY it occurs, and 
whether it's worth worrying about?
