Wol: Thanks. One trouble with using FileZilla is having to remember to check that pesky option for ASCII vs binary.
It appears I need a new and improved backup and recovery scheme. I like the Linux box idea. --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wols Lists Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 6:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] UV Unix File Recovery On 20/06/12 22:28, Bill Brutzman wrote: > I am having trouble trying to restore a year-end file to a new file name. > > The file is saved to my Windows7 PC...

This could be your problem - if you didn't binary it to the PC, it could be corrupt on the PC - in which case you're in trouble... > > I tried to create a new file and dictionary from the UV command prompt and > then copy the file and dictionary over. > > I tried creating a new file in UniVerse and sizing the file like the known > working files. > UV doesn't care about that sort of thing - it should "just work" > When I try to do a UVFIXFILE... an error indicating file truncation results.

Do you have the year-end file still sitting somewhere on the hp box? Disk is cheap nowadays. If you're worried about expensive hp disks, just get a cheap pc, stuff a couple of terabyte disks in it, and run linux on it. Back up the hp box over the network with rsync or something cleverer that'll do incremental snapshots.
