Once you have installed and customized your system, HP recommends
that you back up your system disk. To do so, follow the instructions
in
Backing Up and Restoring the System Disk.
On VAX systems, back up the console volume (if applicable).
If your computer has a console storage device, make a backup copy
of your console volume in case your original becomes corrupted.
The operating system provides a command procedure called CONSCOPY.COM
(in the SYS$UPDATE directory), which copies your console volume
to a blank one.
The procedure for backing up the console volume varies for
different computers. For specific instructions on backing up the
console volumes, refer to the upgrade and installation supplement
for your VAX computer.
