WTBackup Fails to Create Complete System Backup

 * }

Q126721

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
The WTBackup (version 1.13) tool that is shipped with the Corel SCSI package cannot perform a complete system backup of Windows 95 systems. WTBackup reports that it is unable to back up certain files that are busy. The following files are examples of files that may be listed as being busy:


 * CAB32.EXE
 * ADVAPI32.DLL
 * COMCTL32.DLL
 * GDI32.DLL
 * ICM32.DLL
 * KERNEL32.DLL
 * LINKINFO.DLL
 * MPR.DLL
 * MSNET32.DLL
 * LANGEXC.NLS

CAUSE
These are 32-bit files. Windows 95 opens many 32-bit files using extended file handles. Files opened in this manner cannot be recognized in the MS- DOS file system, which WTBackup uses to identify all open files. WTBackup displays the warning because it is unable to access those files opened with extended file handles.

STATUS
This behavior is caused by new features included with Windows 95. Contact Corel about possible upgrades to the WTBackup tool.

MORE INFORMATION
WTBackup is manufactured by Corel Systems Corporation, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
