The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the Windows 95 Backup tool, you cannot save the current file set until you select the files to back up and a destination for the backup files. After you click the Start Backup button and back up the files, you cannot save the file set.

RESOLUTION

Make sure to save the file set before you click the Start Backup button to begin backing up the files.

MORE INFORMATION

The Save and Save As commands become available on the File menu after you select the files to back up and a destination for the backup files. You should save the file set before you begin backing up the files, because the list of files to back up and the destination are no longer selected after the backup is finished.
