Problem with BACKUP.EXE             JR12925                         May 4, 1999

Specifying a year of 00 with the /D Date option of BACKUP is rejected as an
invalid date.

The /D option of BACKUP takes a date as an argument.  This date can have either
two or four digit years, for example, February 22, 2000 can be specified as:

        /D:02/22/00
        /D:02/22/2000

In the first case, the date is incorrectly rejected as invalid.

For example,

[C:\os2]backup c: a: /d:02-02-00
SYS1036: The system cannot accept the date entered.

Work around:

Use four digits for the year.

Fix:

BACKUP.EXE is fixed in Warp 3 Fixpak 41 and Warp 4 Fixpak 11.

Alternatively, you can install BACKUP.EXE from this package on Warp 3 FP32
thru FP40 systems or Warp 4 FP4 thru FP10 systems as follows:

1. Rename existing \os2\backup.exe as backup.exo.
2. Copy the Warp 3 or Warp 4 version of backup.exe from this package to the
   \os2 directory as backup.exe.

   backup.ex3 = Warp 3 version
   backup.ex4 = Warp 4 version
