Hello everyone. I decided to undertake a backup project and took 5 zips for a spin: I formatted them in PC format in my mac quadra 650. Then, copied a bunch of flow files from cellquest for a few months back or so. My CD-burner is at home, in a computer with winNT server and win98 installed. I copied the zips to a temp. directory on a drive formatted in an NTFS format. I noticed right away the folders had names beginning with ! and some other things were not right as far as naming. I renamed the folders and burned one CD. I took it to work and I can see the files but cellquest doesn't recognize it. Meanwhile when I take those same zip disks and copy them to another PC at work that runs win95, thus fat-16 FS, and then copied them from the HD to a zip w/o renaming they worked fine on the mac. What is the problem: is it the file renaming, file system issues, or I just can't burn a CD with mac files? I'll do some more testing, and post an answer if I come up with one, meanwhile I would appreciate any and all input from people who've tried similar backup procedures. BTW I got a cdrw for my new facs acquisition station which isn't here yet so I can't use it :( that's why I took it home to try it on PC. Thanks for your time, maciej ===== `---------------------------------------------` | Maciej S.
