- QUESTION: What is the NET$MSG.DAT file? Why is it always open? What
- happens if you do a backup and because it is open it doesn't
- backup and when you do a restore it isn't restored? Will
- the system recreate it?
-
- ANSWER: NET$MSG.SYS is a file that is created just like the
- binderies when the system is first brought up and it is open
- all the time. It is a "scratch pad" file. It will be
- created by the system if it is not present.
-
- Most Backup/Restore software should handle it just like they
- do any other open file (such as the binderies).
