To All,

I would just add to Craig's response, if you have a current back-up tape
with ALL the directories specified for all the volume sets, after replaceing
and re-intializing the corrupted volume set, you can :restore
*t;;directory;show which will restore all the directories on the store tape.
Additionally, this will allow
the restore of command.pub.sys (if not on the wiped out disc volume) to set
UDC's without the BULDJOB2.  If youn just have to restore a volume set, you
can then ;KEEP a lot of your files without re-writing them..
