No, that's exactly what we've been complaining to DEC about.  You can go
to all the trouble of initializing the disk with the desired number of
headers, use /NOINIT on the restore BACKUP command, and BACKUP still
insists on truncating INDEXF.SYS for you.  I hope it really is finally
fixed in v5.5-2.
