Subject  :  (OT) Short filename preservation in Veritas Backup Exec Desktop v4.61?
Size(KB) :  0


This is kinda offtopic. My apologies... but seemed like people here
might know.

From John Navas' website:
"Some Windows backup programs do preserve short file names when you
restore from DOS (sometimes called "emergency restore"); e.g., VERITAS
Backup Exec Desktop Edition (verified by this author for Version 2).
Check to be sure! (These same programs do not preserve short file
names when you restore under Windows.)"

I have the final Veritas version (v4.61) and it's been updated to
include disaster recovery.

Does it, as Navas said of v2.0, preserve short filenames in DR (i.e.,
restoring from a DOS prompt and a DR disk set)?

And did Veritas ever get SFN preservation working when restoring from
Windows? (I'm assuming a need for partial restores to the same OS
environment.)

Many thanks.
