Invalid Directory Structures with NTBACKUP after SP 2 (111030)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q111030 SYMPTOMS
If a pre-Service Pack 2 version of NTBACKUP is used to do an operation on a
tape that was backed up using the Service Pack 2 (or later) version of
NTBACKUP, the results are unpredictable. This usually takes the form of
invalid directory or file structures.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because previous versions of NTBACKUP were not UNICODE-
aware. The version included with Service Pack 2 adds UNICODE information to
the directory structure that pre-Service Pack 2 versions cannot understand.
RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, upgrade all Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
Server computers to the latest version available.
