Title: Backup to desktop failure
Post by: Colby on May 21, 2001, 04:42:40 AM

Whenever I do a backup to desktop it asks where I want to save it and I select the desktop on my Win98 box. It starts the download and gets upto 2.30 GB and gives me an error message. The message is "Cannot create or replace esmithsg: The parameter is incorrect." I click OK on the error box and it disappears and the file goes away also. I'm not sure why it does this.

Thank you,
Colby

I believe that WIn98 has a 2GB file size limit.

That was it. My RedHat 7.1 downloaded it with no problems.
