Backup on VMS v8.2-1



Hiya,

We appear to have had a situation this morning where, prior to the
installation of the RMS v0100, BASRTL v0200 and ICXXL v0200 patches,
BACKUP on VMS v8.2-1 corrupted a text file by modifying the maximum
record length of a file from 62 to 32767.

The restore which appears to have corrupted things was just
$ BACKUP/IMAGE/NOALIAS tape:saveset.bck/sav disk:

Has anybody else encountered such an issue?

I haven't (yet) tried restoring the disk following the installation of
the patches.

The original backup was done as an image backup on VMS v7.3-1 on an
AlphaServer DS20.

Thanks in advance

Steve
