Mac Bkup: MSMailBackup CDEV Not Creating Backup Mail Data File (68600)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.0
This article was previously published under Q68600 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Mail, if the MSMailBackup CDEV (Control Panel device)
does not load at start-up, no backup of the Microsoft Mail data file
will be created and no mail messages will be sent regarding the
success of the backup.
To check if MSMailBackup is being loaded, restart the Apple Macintosh.
If the MSMailBackup start-up icon is not shown while the Macintosh is
restarting, or if it appears crossed out with an "X", MSMailBackup was
unable to load successfully.
Known situations that prevent MSMailBackup from loading are as
follows:
- MSMailBackup is not located in the System Folder.
- The "Microsoft Mail Server" file is not located in the System
Folder.
- The Microsoft Mail server name has been changed. (For example, a
space may have been placed before the name.)
MORE INFORMATION
The MSMailBackup utility looks in the System Folder for a file named
"Microsoft Mail Server". If it doesn't find this file, MSMailBackup
crosses out its icon at start-up time.
