Jim Kingdon's VMSBACKUP page

I have done some work on VMSBACKUP, a (partial) clone of the VMS BACKUP utility. The lastest version as far as I know is 4.1.1. There's source code for 4.1 at ftp://ftp.process.com/vms-freeware/free-vms/. I don't think I still have a copy. I'd suggest asking on the free-vms mailing list; see free-vms.org. Last I looked VMSBACKUP4-1-1.ZIP was available for download at ftp://ftp.lp.se/free-vms/ (Richard Levitte's site)

Errata/issues (some of these may be helpful in building/using VMSBACKUP, some are probably more of interest to future maintainers):

• Someone reported that the Sun compiler on Solaris (2.5.1) was unable to find getopt.h. According to the Single Unix Specification (version 2), we should change #include "getopt.h" to #include <unistd.h>.
• The README file should be updated to point to this web site as well as www.free-vms.org. Should remove my email address in lieu of the web links.
• The distribution contains no mention of copying terms. I hereby disclaim copyright to my changes, putting them in the public domain, and as far as I know the rest of VMSBACKUP is in the public domain as well. A statement to this effect should be added to the sources.
• Kevin Handy has submitted some patches.
