SYMPTOMS
========
Microsoft Backup does not back up, compare, or restore files ending with the
following extensions if they reside in the same directory from which Backup was
started:
.BAK .RST
.LOG .SAV
.LST .SLT
.PRO .TMP
If you move the MSBACKUP.EXE file to another directory, Backup can work with
files with these extensions; however, it still does not back up the MSBACKUP.TMP
file.
With Backup in a new directory, it does not compare or restore the following
filenames:
DEFAULT.SET
DEFAULT.SLT
MSBACKUP.INI
MSBACKUP.RST
RESTORE.TMP
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 6.0, 6.2, and
6.22. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
