Changes from v3.00
Type Description
┌───────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ QUAL-IMP │ CLBACK '-set' option did not function as │
│ │ documented. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ QUAL-IMP │ Restore overwrite options always examined the │
│ │ original path/filename, even when restore │
│ │ redirection was used. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ QUAL-IMP │ Installation utility would does not always │
│ │ enable the 'changed files only' option when │
│ │ creating the 'INCRMENT.SET' backup set. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ QUAL-IMP │ Large catalog files can be corrupted when a small │
│ │ buffer size is used. If the size of the catalog │
│ │ file is greater than the size of the I/O buffer, │
│ │ the catalog file on the backup medium may be │
│ │ left corrupted. Data can still be restored via │
│ │ the standalone restore utilty, or via the GUI │
│ │ interface if the original catalog is present. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ NEW-FEAT │ The logical disk device driver now opens the │
│ │ backup file in deny-write mode during restores │
│ │ instead of deny-all in order to allow multiple │
│ │ concurrent restore operations from a backup set │
│ │ located on a network server. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ NEW-FEAT │ QFA usage is now much more efficient during │
│ │ restore and verify operations for devices which │
│ │ implement QFA poorly. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ NEW-FEAT │ A workaround has been developed to correct for │
│ │ defects present in the adapter device drivers │
│ │ for certain models of Adaptec SCSI host adapters. │
└───────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Changes from v3.00A
Type Description
┌───────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ QUAL-IMP │ Restore redirectionc can fail when prompting for │
│ │ overwriting existing files. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ QUAL-IMP │ High speed QFA did not function correctly after │
│ │ v3.00a was applied. Workaround was to set the │
│ │ BA2_QFA_CACHE variable │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ QUAL-IMP │ More than two backups set to execute at the same │
│ │ time would cause erratic operations; a PM hang │
│ │ was the usual result. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ QUAL-IMP │ CLBACK would not start BA/2 on OS/2 2.1 systems │
│ │ due to a discrepency between OS/2 2.1 and Warp │
│ │ in handling of DosStartSession(). This caused │
│ │ failures with external schedulers which were not │
│ │ run from the BA/2 installation directory. │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ QUAL-IMP │ UNC patterns containing a full UNC path such as │
│ │ \\PICARD\DATA\TEST\PAPERS\*.DOC would not be │
│ │ scanned correctly unless the UNC paths were in the │
│ │ network preferences notebook. Problem on IBM LS │
│ │ only. │
