The STORE command can store by volumeset
:STORE @[log in to unmask]@;;ONVS=MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET,USERVOL_A,USERVOL_B
For all files not on user volume USERVOL_C.
In the past I have used something called DISCUTIL (type HELP RECOVER in
VOLUTIL)
or is was called DISCCOPY or something. But its at the ISL prompt level
when
booting. It allows you to store files by ldev. Even off of ldev 15.
In my case I had a bad sector in the directory on a uservolume. Using
DISCUTIL
I could read most from that drive -- until the bad sector. Then using
the RECOVER
command in VOLUTIL, you can recover those files. Please check the manual
for
DISCUTIL.

PS: On my CD, its in the MPE/iX System Utilities Reference Manual,
Chapter 6.
Here is the part on command SAVE. (I searched for DISCUTIL; Also othe
rexamples
and more docs in book Volume Management, which also covers the RECOVER
command of
VOLUTIL)
SAVE
Use SAVE to retrieve files from disk and copy them to magnetic tape.
You
might use SAVE after a system failure, when a directory has been
corrupted, or when a disk becomes inaccessible to the operating system.
If the volume label or the label table extent blocks are corrupt, SAVE
will stop retrieving files from that disk and move onto the next.
Saving one set of files
You can tell DISCUTIL which files you want to copy to tape. The file(s)
must reside on a disk that was mounted manually or during the startup of
DISCUTIL.
To specify which files you want to save with DISCUTIL, do the following:
1. At the discutil> prompt, enter the SAVE command.
2. At the ENTER FILE SET TO BE SAVED prompt, specify the files you
want copied using either MPE or HFS syntax. You can replace any
part of the file set specification with @ to indicate all members
of the set.
3. At the prompt TRAVERSE DIRECTORIES UNDER FILESET (Y/N), press
RETURN to not save any hierarchical directories.
4. At the prompt ENTER THE LDEV, press return to tell the system to
search all logical disk devices for the files. To search a
single
disk, enter its LDEV number.
5. At the prompt ENTER THE VOLUME SET NAME, press RETURN to search
all disks. To search one set, specify the set.
6. At the prompt ENTER THE MODIFICATION DATE (MM/DD/YYYY), enter a
date to save only those files in the file set that have been
modified on or since a certain date.
7. At the prompt ENTER THE TAPE LDEV, enter the LDEV number of the
tape drive on which you want to store the files.
DISCUTIL searches the label tables of all ldevs specified for the
indicated file(s). Each time a file is found, and when the file is
successfully written to tape, it prints a message. You may also see
other messages indicating that an error has occured while DISCUTIL was
saving a file.
If the end of a tape is reached before the procedure is complete,
DISCUTIL will prompt you to mount a new tape. Once you have done so,
SAVE continues until all specified files are copied. At that point, the
ENTER FILE SET TO BE SAVED: prompt appears again so that you may specify
additional files sets.
Saving multiple file sets
To save multiple sets of files, do the following:
1. Specify the first file set you want saved, answering each of the
questions DISCUTIL asks. Refer to the preceding set of steps for
information.
2. When you see the ENTER FILE SET TO BE SAVED prompt for the second
time, press RETURN to complete the first tape set and rewind the
tape.
3. At the discutil> prompt, enter the SAVE command again. (This
begins the save procedure for the next file set.)
The following is a short sample of the interaction between a user and
DISCUTIL during SAVE:
