Could someone shed some light on the constraints of Unix & VAX at the time?
The decision making here does not make much sense to a youngster (36) like me.
Why couldn't they just mount their half deleted drive on an other machine and restore it from there?
I have the feeling all these other hundreds of seemingly easier solutions were out of the realm of possibilities back then, but I am unsure of what were the actual limitations / constraints of that era.
