Gilles, I don't think that's possible with TURBOSTORE as it is. You may
want to write a program that would read the STD file and copy it to tape in
the proper format. I should think that would be something that is very
feasible. (BTW, we had something like that with Hiback, for that exact
purpose.) You will need to spend some quality time with FCOPY, reading
store tapes and comparing them to STD files. I suspect there may be people
on here who have already done that or know the formats and save you some
time.
There may be some fun time with the blocking issue. But it should not be too
difficult; after all it's not rocket surgery.

Subject: [HP3000-L] copying STD file to tape for subsequent restore
Customer wants to:
1. perform online store-to-disk of @[log in to unmask]@
2. ftp resulting store files to disaster-recovery spare HP3000 in remote
location
At this point, subseqent restoration of files onto existing disks directly
from disk files would require approximately twice to amount of disk space
necessary - ignoring compression on disk (comprising the @[log in to unmask]@ fileset plus
the space occupied by the store-to-disk files).
Is there a way to copy the disk store-to-disk files onto dds in such a way
that it would be possible to perform the restore operation directly from
tape, rather than disk - and thus reduce the highwater mark of total disk
space required.
