VMS Help  —  RMU72  Backup  Database  Command Qualifiers, Block Size
    Block_Size=integer

    Specifies the maximum record size for the backup file. The size
    can vary between 2048 and 65,024 bytes. The default value is
    device dependent. The appropriate block size is a compromise
    between tape capacity and error rate. The block size you specify
    must be larger than the largest page length in the database.
