SYMPTOMS
When you retrieve a catalog file in Microsoft Backup for MS-DOS, you
are prompted to insert the last disk of the backup set. If the catalog
file is very large, it may reside on multiple disks and the following
message may be displayed:
Disk #b is currently in drive x. The catalog <catalog filename> starts
on disk #a. Insert disk #a of the backup set to start catalog
retrieval.
NOTE: "a" is the starting catalog disk and "b" is the next catalog
disk.
Once you insert the starting catalog disk in the disk drive, Microsoft
Backup indicates that it is retrieving the catalog. After reading the
disk, it displays the following message:
Disk #a is now in drive x. Insert the next disk to continue the
retrieve.
After you insert the next disk, Microsoft Backup incorrectly indicates
that it is retrieving the catalog from the previous disk, even though
the next disk is actually in the disk drive. However, Microsoft Backup
does successfully retrieve the complete catalog file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Backup for
MS-DOS, which ships with MS-DOS 6.0, 6.2, and 6.22. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
