About a month ago someone sent me vmsbackup. I finally got around
to building it on our IRIS 4D/320S (SGI). It built without even
any warnings, but when I ran it, I got the following error exit.

The command:

vmsbackup -tvf /dev/rmt/xmt0d0nr.1600

Gives:

Snark: Invalid header block size
Volume: TEX
Saveset name: TEX.BCK   number: 1
      
It has the save set name correct. Any idea what gives? I made the backup
on VMS 4.5 . I see where the test and error message come from, but don't
have the time to debug/rewrite it.

Thanks, John
