[Info-vax] Odd BACKUP error: unsupported file structure !

[JF Mezei]

Re: unexpected errors:  One expecs some "file is open, but backing up
anyways because you had /ignore=interlock".

I would also expect "file not found" messages on an active system (file
purged when a new version was created (log files for instance).

Such messages, I can love with. (note that in this case, there was no
activity so the fact that it saw a file that needed backing up and then
couldn't fnd the file was strange.


I have written a .ZIP procedure which backs up each main directory in
[000000] on the drive to a NDF directory.  It seems to be running much
faster than backup. and no complaints.

I am really suspecting that Backup had serious problems with a large
indexf.sys.

If/when the disk is recreated with a normal indexf.sys, I'll see i
backup can then process the disk faster. If so, it would point to data
structure problems as opposed to hardware falure of the disk drive.
