Hi Myrna,
Backup does not enforce any restrictions on which separator to use and
does not do any conversions. It just passes path specified directly to
to java.io.File constructors to create File object. I think most VM's
on Windows/MAC understands "/" as a name separator and internally
convert it to correct platform specific path name.
Correct way to build paths is to use File.separator to separate the
names in the path.
Thanks

Hi,
I noticed in passing that a few of the store tests - for example,
OnlineBackupTest1 - use hardcoded '/' in paths.
While I've not checked this, I am worrying that this test might not pass
under DOS (note, it would be find under cygwin, but not everyone may
have some such shell simulator).
Or is there some functionality in the backup tools that always want
forward slashes and translate it correctly to the operating system path
separator?
