TITLE :Using Wildcards to Perform NT BACKUP
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:docerr
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Page 393 of the Windows NT "System Guide" and page 491 of the
Windows NT Advanced Server "System Guide" incorrectly state that you
can back up files using a wildcard for a specific directory. The
example given is the following:
NTBACKUP BACKUP C:\MYDIR\*.BAT
CAUSE
=====
If you attempt to use the example above to back up all files with the
.BAT extension, or attempt to use the wildcard approach to backing up
files, you will receive the following error message:
Backup Error:
No Files were selected for backup.
RESOLUTION
==========
Information received from Conner Software indicates that support for
backing up individual files and/or using wildcard strings for backing
up files is not supported from the command line.
To back up individual files, you must use the NT Backup GUI interface
application.
Additional reference words: 3.10 backup command wild card
