- Working as designed. OS/2's BACKUP has to cope with extended
- attributes and long filenames, something DOS's BACKUP/RESTORE cannot
- deal with. Hence, when you use BACKUP in an OS/2 session you will not
- be creating a DOS RESTORE compatible backup set.
-
- As you discovered, running BACKUP in a DOS session gets around the
- "problem," but then, of course, you can't backup long filenames and
- extended attributes.

-
- That's correct. This was never a standard VGA mode, and OS/2 doesn't
- know how to virtualize it (yet). You may see some activity in this
- area, however.

- Do you have the CODEPAGE line in your CONFIG.SYS set properly?
