## SYMPTOMS

If a time-out occurs during a backup procedure, Microsoft Backup may not continue successfully (although it appears to do so).

## CAUSE

This problem occurs if you wait until the drive light goes out when you are switching disks. At that point, Microsoft Backup asks you if you want to continue or quit. After you choose to continue, Microsoft Backup appears to finish normally; however, the second (or subsequent) disk may be blank.

## STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Backup versions 6.0 and 6.2. This problem was corrected in later version of MS-DOS.
