Backup Utilities Back Up Long Document Named |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Each time a customer runs Planedrom or Mainer backup utilities all of his WordPerfect documents are backed up when using Long Document Name display in List Files. The backup utilities should only be backing up documents which have been accessed. When the customer uses Short Document Name display, only those that have been modified are backed up. The customer realizes why this is happening. WordPerfect must open each file when using Long Document Names in List Files in order to read the long name. This process sets the access bit in Novell. When the backup utilities detect a file that has been accessed, they back up the file. The customer is wondering is if there is any option in WP to reset the access information so the files that haven't been accessed won't be backed up when using Long Document Name. Solutions: Development is aware of this problem. WP has to open the files to get the long document names, then Novell sets the access bit. There is no way to get around this problem in WP. One suggestion is to use a DOS archive bit to control the backup programs. |
