AREV Specific

We are running AREV 3.11 on Netware 4.1. Our backup software (COlorado Backup II - version 4) running on win95/98 Novell client seem to reset all Read Write sharable flags to Read Write after an overnight backup. I have read from this forum that the culprit lies in the Win95/98 client. For now we have been reflagging everyday

all AREV files. Has anyone come up with a better solution yet ?

Thanks a million !

Try a JAZ drive, and using XCOPY for your backups.

Otherwise, assert your shared flag / read only fag / write flag from the batch file that calls AREV.EXE

Colorado I think may have released a fix for this problem.
