BACKUP/IMAGE in VMS8.4 results in corrupted target

Open Gremlinsz opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Build AXPbox from mainline and run it on a RaspberryPi 4 Buster fully updated.

Autocreated a disk in es40.cfg size 1500M. Installed VMS from CD and it has been running fine.

Found that I could create a disk 2000M but not anything larger than 1G. Booted AXPbox from CD and did a BACKUP/IMAGE of the "old" boot drive at 1500M to the "new" drive of 2000M. Backup completed fine and I could boot from the new disk, but part way through it fails with:

I have created a new 2000M disk and backup-up to it several times, same problem... booting from the 1500M disk works without problem.
