Cannot back up selected date range due to Win95 cannot do incremental backup.
Cause:
Windows EXCLUDES the date range entered from the backup. Windows 95 cannot do incremental backups, and therefore, entering a date range to be excluded will ensure that only files created or modified since that date are backed up.
Solution:
Click the 'Start' button, select 'Programs', select 'Accessories', select 'System Tools', and select 'Backup'. Click 'OK' twice. Select the 'Settings' menu and select 'File Filtering...'. Select the 'Last Modified Date' check box and modify the date. Select the files to exclude. Click 'OK'.
