- As an additional comment and warning to this procedure, BACKUP will
- only restore up to >seven< directory levels. All files below the seventh
- directory will be restored to the TOP level directory.
- This happened (unexpectedly!) to me, and the DEC CSC in a nutshell
- said "tough". You could probably find out where the data files (and missing
- [...level8.level9.etc]*.dir files) with some laborious sleuthing, though.
