WTBackup Fails to Create Complete System Backup

ID: 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.
