I'm not 100% sure - I just did it that way when I re-installed Windows
because I knew before that the location of the attachment folder would
change and wanted to avoid any trouble.

Error restoring attachments

2004-08-11 Thread Tobias 
Has anyone else experienced problems restoring attachments with The Bat! 2.12? 
I reinstalled Windows today (with a slipstreamed SP2), and before formatting I 
did a full backup in TB!, electing *not* to store external attachments in 
message bodies. 

Now that I've installed Windows and have come to restore my TB! archive, I get 
this error when trying to restore attachments: Error extracting 
attachment 'filename' into 'path', where filename is one of the attachments 
and path is in my MAIL directory. I've tried this with older backups and get 
the same error.

Has anyone had similar experiences, or know a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Isn't that what you should've done in order to preserve the attachments?
They're not stored in the message body (and thus, the messagebase).
Apparently you've formatted your attachments away... :-{

Are you sure that's what necessary to back up attachments? If so, why does TB! 
allow you to check the attachment files box for backup, and elect not to 
store them in message bodies, as I've done? If it was necessary to store 
attachments in message bodies to back them up, TB! would do so automatically. 

Furthermore, I'm positive the attachments have been backed up, because my .tbk 
file is 100MB and my successfully restored mail folder is only 30MB. The 
attachments are in the tbk file, they're just not being extracted and restored 
properly.

Just for the record, is anyone with TB! 2.12.00 able to successfully back up 
and restore attachments separate to message bodies? Would someone mind running 
a small test and checking that for me? I'm pretty sure this has always worked 
for me in the past.

Thanks :)
