SUMMARY
With OS/2 2.x installed on its own partition which is formatted as
OS/2 2.x HPFS, when you are using the Windows NT Backup program to do
a complete backup and restore of the OS/2 2.1 HPFS drive, some of the
special desktop properties, such as shadows and links, which are
stored in extended file attributes, are not restored.
Windows NT cannot read some of the OS/2 2.x HPFS extended attributes
and therefore cannot backup or restore them using the Windows NT
Backup utility.
OS/2 version 2.x is manufactured by IBM, a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this
products' performance or reliability.
