TITLE :NTBACKUP.EXE Doesn't Backup Entire Hard Disk
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10.003 FIXLIST3.10.003
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft U.S. Service Pack 2 for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
NTBACKUP.EXE does not backup the entire hard disk drive when issued from
the command line or from a batch file. Also, the following error may
appear:
You do not have permission to access portions of \xxx
Please see the owner or administrator to get permission.
Error reading alternate file data.
CAUSE
=====
The initial release of the U.S. Service Pack 2 for Windows NT and Windows
NT Advanced Server version 3.1 has a regression problem.
If you use the command line statement:
NTBACKUP backup C:\<directory path> /B /L "C:\BACKUP.LOG"
NTBackup will backup the specified directory, but will not backup the local
registry as specified by the /B switch. If the specified directory is not
the root directory, the following error message will appear in the status
box:
You do not have permission to access portions of \xxx.
Please see the owner or administrator to get permission.
Error reading alternate file data.
where "xxx" will be part of the subdirectory path name. NTBACKUP.EXE will
also create an empty log file with a size of 2 bytes and write it in the
\\WINNT directory instead of the path specified by the /L switch.
RESOLUTION
==========
Service Pack 2 has been re-released with a correction for this problem.
If you applied the previous Service Pack 2 before 1/31/94, you need to
update your Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server to the new version.
To determine if you have the new Service Pack 2 on a running system, at a
command prompt type "WINVER".
If WINVER shows that the release is:
Build 528: CSD003 - you have the old Service Pack 2.
If WINVER shows that the release is:
Build 528: Service Pack 2 - you have the new Service Pack 2.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S.
Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For
