Hello!
(And I perhaps understand the ways of machines with the wisdom of one
of my favorite characters.)
I can't speak for why the VMS system is behaving strangely concerning
the backup functions of its CDs, but I can for how one of us is
posting. Some of us use our portable devices for participation on
these lists. They in turn have default setting which can not be
changed. That setting sadly is HTML. (Or something close enough.)

Hello!
Hmm okay. My concept hit it on the head.
And the only yetis I know are busy besieging Dave's place. And causing
massive mayhem all over Cory. But yes you're right.
That'd explain the scratching at the roof...

BACKUP is not behaving strangely at all. Its purpose was for doing BACKUP
and RESTORE. If you do NOT place (restore) files on the volume into their
original configuration, it is/was considered a new file and thus, receives
new file creation and modification dates and times. I was elaborating on
this very aspect of the file system in the OpenVMS File Systems Internals
V2 book when HP nixed it.

I read most of my email, assuming it's text, on VMS. If the email has a
MIME encoding or attachment, I read it on my Linux or OS X boxes. It's
not that I can't read it, it's just annoying to see that much "crap" for
a simple one line response. Hans's emails are so gobbledegook that it's
difficult to read through the HTML tags to see if it's worth the effort
to preview it on the Linux or OS X system.

If I'm not wrong, MOUNT/BIND does not work if more than one disk contains
files. In other words, when you bind a number of disks, you'll see only files
located in the first one. Bind was conceived when physical disks were so small
that some applications space needs exceeded single-disk capacities available.
HELP MOUNT /BIND says:

G.
It depends. You can't just put files on disparate disks and then, issue a
MOUNT/BIND and expect to see them as one happy family. The files on ODS-n
disks have a file identifier. The identifier is composed of three values
which represent the file: <NUM(24bits), SEQ(16 bits), RVN(256 bits). The
RVN is Relative Volume Number. If a volume is not bound, the RVN is zero.
If you were to try to /BIND your volumes, the file system would not know
where these files exist.
