There are several:

Thanks! I'll look up all of those commands to understand them better.

I'm still fumbling around with the multi-tape backup of the R80 drive and
haven't quite gotten it working yet. But I've made some other good progress!
That RL02 pack labeled VMS53RL02SYS does contain a working VMS 5.3
installation. I backed it up to tape while booted from the R80, then did a

If you are running backup and it is asking for additional tapes, then I believe
you can do the following

$spawn

initialize additional tapes as needed (prior tape should have rewound…)
