If you can't get help at the VCF - MW (which I don't doubt), and your
MicroVAx II has a DELQA or DEQNA network adapter, then I know of two other
elegant ways to back up the data from your ESDI disk:
Either: configure your MicroVAX II into a Local Area VAXcluster using the
instruction in

Don't hesitate to ask for help; the first alternative is my work, and I
worked a little on the second one.
VMS 4.7 did not support TCP/IP out of the box. There were
add-ons for that. They DID support DECNET, but I didn't
have any other computers that did. I did have a DEQNA (I
think) at one time but don't have it now! That would make
things a LOT easier.
Thanks,
