I tested this out on an Alpha (XP1000/667), and it appears to work just fine. backup/image/verify dka200: dka100:[000000]20190420-system.sav/sav backup/image/verify dka100:[000000]20190420-system.sav/sav dka300: I was then able to boot dka300: I just have to figure out what the problem with the VAXstation 4000/60 is.
