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.
