Repairing FTP-induced BACKUP saveset corruptions

BACKUP savesets can be corrupted by FTP file transfers and by tools such as zip (particularly when the zip tool has not been asked to save and restore OpenVMS file attributes or when it does not support OpenVMS file attributes), as well as via other means of corruptions.

To repair these saveset corruptions, download

» RESET_BACKUP_SAVESET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES.ZIP
unzip to get the RESET_BACKUP_SAVESET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES.COM DCL command procedure. (Be aware that some web browsers on some platforms will try to invoke this DCL command procedure as an executable, based on the (mis)interpretation of the COM file extension on the particular platform.) When downloading this tool, use of the the web browser's "save link as" mechanism is recommended.)

MGMT20.  How do I fix a corrupt BACKUP saveset?

  BACKUP savesets can be corrupted by FTP file transfers and by tools
  such as zip (particularly when the zip tool has not been asked to
  save and restore OpenVMS file attributes or when it does not support
  OpenVMS file attributes), as well as via other means of corruptions.

  If you have problems with the BACKUP savesets after unzipping them
  or after an FTP file transfer, you can try restoring the appropriate
  saveset attributes using the tool:

    $ @RESET_BACKUP_SAVESET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES.COM

  This tool is available on the OpenVMS Freeware (in the [000TOOLS]
  directory).  The Freeware is available at various sites -- see the
  Freeware location listings elsewhere in the FAQ -- and other similar
  tools are also available from various sources.

  In various cases, the following command might work:

    $ SET FILE/ATTRIBUTES=(RFM:FIX,MRS:32256,LRL:32256,RAT:NONE) file.bck
