tc,

Thanks and I'll look into this. I really don't want to buy yet another machine. I still have my old dog of a machine that is at least 7-8 years old. This one I'm on now is about 3 years old and is plenty fast enough (500mh) for my needs. Besides, what the hell do you do with these old things? You can't just send them to a landfill. I'd rather upgrade the OS, if that's gonna be possible without pain.

Ken

tc and all,

Posted this a few days ago, but received no replies. Still hoping that someone has an answer.

When doing a backup onto a SONY 11000 SCSI DAT tape backup with a DAT DDS4 tape using Veritas Backup Exec software on WIN2000 Pro with NTFS format, I keep getting the following error message and the file is not backup-up:
____________________________________________________________

System Registry, COM+ Class Registration, Operating System, and Boot files have been backed up.
Error: C:\WINNT\? - error opening: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
____________________________________________________________

Is there anyway of determining what the file is? And can you just delete a WINNIT file to correct the problem? If not, how can the problem file be corrected? It has consistently done this for months and I'm finally trying to clean things up.

TIA,

Marty

RE Aloha Bob; I bought & used the "buffered" USB cable they recommended, which made things go MUCH faster. :) I got the cable at Electronic Botique, which was 1/2 the price elsewhere, btw.
HTH,
JohnD
