- TITLE :Windows NT Backup May Restore Truncated Macintosh Folder Names
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you use the Windows NT Backup program to back up LAN Manager 2.x
- Services for Macintosh files, restored folders may not have their
- proper names restored. If the folder has a long filename, the restored
- folder name may be truncated to an 8.3-character filename. However,
- files will be restored with their proper names.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- LAN Manager 2.x Services for Macintosh uses Extended Attributes (EAs)
- on both FAT and HPFS to store Macintosh information, including the
- LONGNAME. The Windows NT Backup program is not recognizing Extended
- Attributes on directories, but is recognizing them on long filenames,
- because they are restored.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
- and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
- problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
- Base as it becomes available.
