SYMPTOMS
The WTBackup (version 1.13) tool that is shipped with the Corel SCSI
package cannot perform a complete system backup of Windows 95 systems.
WTBackup reports that it is unable to back up certain files that are busy.
The following files are examples of files that may be listed as being busy:
- CAB32.EXE
- ADVAPI32.DLL
- COMCTL32.DLL
- GDI32.DLL
- ICM32.DLL
- KERNEL32.DLL
- LINKINFO.DLL
- MPR.DLL
- MSNET32.DLL
- LANGEXC.NLS
CAUSE
These are 32-bit files. Windows 95 opens many 32-bit files using extended
file handles. Files opened in this manner cannot be recognized in the MS-
DOS file system, which WTBackup uses to identify all open files. WTBackup
displays the warning because it is unable to access those files opened with
extended file handles.
STATUS
This behavior is caused by new features included with Windows 95. Contact
Corel about possible upgrades to the WTBackup tool.
