F This area has fastbackup, but it is also a compressing disk. See *.BLDF for build scripts for the compressing disk, vax or alpha, two flavors.) (cmphighc-vax.bld or cmphighc-alpha.bld).  Glenn Everhart  E To build a combined distribution, *.exe, *.obj, and *.olb are renamed C *.exe_vax and *.exe_alpha, *.obj_vax and *.obj_alpha, and *.olb and D *.olb_alpha.  To use, before doing anything else rename one of these& sets to *.exe, *.obj, and *.olb again.     Fast Backup   G This package allows use of VMS Backup BACKUP/PHYSICAL by giving a means B to present a back/phys image as a disk to the system. Thus you can> use back/phys, which is about twice as fast as regular backup,A but still access saved data as individual files. The saveset must B all fit on one tape (need not be first saveset on the tape though)C and the utility can use CRC and XOR blocks to reconstruct bad data. E   The "disk" will appear on device DTA0: (which ought to please those D old enough to remember DECtape). The package has been tested on 8mm,D 9track tape, 4mm, and TK cartridges and should work on any tape likeB device. It uses fast skips to move around the tape and has a large" internal cache to speed operation.  I   Drivers and so on for both Vax and Alpha are here. The package supports C presenting back/phys tapes directly as if they were disks, and also @ supports compressing a whole disk to 2 files and presenting thatJ pair of files as a readonly disk. Compress ratios of 2:1 or 3:1 (sometimes% higher...depends on data) are common.   D Offered as shareware by Glenn C. Everhart, 18 Colburn Ln, Hollis, NH> 03049. If you use and like the package a donation of $10 would be appreciated.       : The dthost_start.com file will get things started for you.   Build:   $macro dthstimg  $macro dtdriver 3 $link dtdriver+sys$system:sys.stb/sel+sys$input/opt  base=0% $link dthstimg+sys$system:sys.stb/sel    AXP Use:  E The code herein should work with FQdriver also, provided that the UCB B definitions match in fdhstimg and the driver used.
