SYMPTOMS

When a group of files from a directory is selected to be restored, Windows NT Backup restores only some of them. Backup does not display an error message and no errors are logged into the log file.

When the directory is selected to be restored, all files are restored. When a single file is selected from a group of files that were in an earlier case selected, but not restored, the file is not restored. When a single file is selected from a group of files that were selected and restored, it is restored.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5.
