SYMPTOMS
When you are using Backup to back up files to a removable disk other than
floppy disks, Backup does not prompt you to insert a second disk if the
entire backup does not fit on one disk. Instead, you receive the following
error message:
Errors occurred during this operation. Do you want to view them now?
The incomplete backup volume on the first disk is automatically deleted
and cannot be restored.
RESOLUTION
When you are using Backup to back up files to a removable disk other than
floppy disks, perform only backups that fit on one disk. Large backups that
require more than one disk should be broken up into smaller backups, each
of which fits on one disk.
MORE INFORMATION
Although Backup does support the use of removable disk drives such as
Bernoulli and Syquest drives, it does not support performing backups that
span multiple disks with these drives. Backup can span multiple disks only
on floppy disk drives connected to the primary floppy disk drive
controller.
