[net.micro.pc] DOS 3.0 BACKUP Bug???

brando@linus.UUCP (T. J. Brando) (08/30/85)

A couple of friends of mine are going to buy ATs with DOS 3.00.  Would
someone please tell me what is wrong with BACKUP in DOS 3.00?  And...
is there any problem with BACKUP in DOS 3.10?

Thanks.

DOS 3.0 BACKUP command sometimes writes a 0 for which disk of the backup it
is.  You can use debug to re-write this one file with a non-zero value to
get around this problem.  
DOS 3.1 does not have this problem.
