Thanks, Bill. > > You simply copy the entire folder back over the old folder (in safe mode if necessary) and it should be restored. Watch for any read only flags that might be set when copying back. Sorry, but I was under the impression you wanted to backup only for restoring in the case of a complete loss, and not for access from the CD. OE is nasty in this area, which is another reason I will never use it. It refuses to open any files archived in this way. |

| 112630 | 2003-01-11 22:03:00 | Whew - thanks to all you helpful people! One last comment - why the hell does it have to be so *****y difficult to Backup OutExp to a CD? Judging by the URL's, a lot of time and effort has been put into solving this problem when, as I see it, it could be just as eay as saving a "Word" document to CD!!!! If a Doc comes as a Word attach . , it is no problem to save or print it out . Thanks again, Bill . |
