Hi,

Sorry if this is but a FAQ,
I'm fairly new to this newsgroup...

Does anybody know how to read VMS savesets (images created by
Backup commnad) on Unix?  I have several VMS backups copied
from magtapes (now they reside on Unix disk), and I can read
them as Unix data files, bue I have no idea of the saveset format.
Writing a tiny tool, I could read and restore few files, but I
could not read the correct file size, RMS options, time-date 
information and file types.  The backup was standalone backup,
so they contain some system files and span multiple volumes.

Is there such tool that read VMS saveset and restore on Unix?
(I have no Vaxen around, so it should run on Domain/OS or ...
 .. HP-UX.)
