backup record date change

Is there a way to change/modify the backup record date on a file without having to run an actual backup/record ? VMS 7.3-2 Alpha

DFU !

The swiss army knife for system managers.

DFU SET /BACKUP...


There is older, and alos fine FILE tools and other still.

With OpenVMS 8.3 you'll get it native:

$SET FILE /ATTRIB=BAKDATE...

Re: backup record date change

I have no idea what is behind the original question but when it comes to incremental backups (using BACKUP/SINCE) you have to update the backup date of the involved directory files as well.

You can always do a "BACKUP/RECORD/... NLA0:a.a/SAVE" to set the data for all the files.
