My company has available a full featured utility to read and write VMS
backup tapes.  It is presently operational on several Unix platforms.
It reads and writes VMS backup save sets which are compatible with
version 5.0 and greater of VMS.  Unlike the public domain version of
vmsbackup, our product (Vbackup) utilizes VMS style CRC checking to
recover from minor problems found on the source tape.

For more information please contact the sales department of my
