=WinXP home SP2=
I use a (batch) cmd file to save my dbx files to another drive. It has a line
for every folder in Outlook Express 6 and looks like this:
xcopy /s/e/i/h "C:\Documents and Settings\KF\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{8D32DF8B-D3B8-4783-A0C5-FE37E2FC8659}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\Inbox.dbx" "F:\Outlook Express exe backup\OEbackup
%Date:~-10,2%-%Date:~-7,2%-%Date:~-2,4%\"
That part works fine.
It is when I compress the backup folder that things go awry. I have tried
using both QVP Compress as well as ''SendTo Compressed folder.'' Most of the
dbx files will compress and unzip just fine. But every once in a while instead
of getting the dbx file when I unzip, it will have changed to an empty folder
with the original name, ie ''Inbox.dbx.''
Unfortunately, it seems to happen on a completely random basis. There are also
occasions where this occurred when the content was something other than a dbx
file.
Can anyone make sense of this and possibly advise a fix? I'd rather not have
to install an additional program such as WinZip.
Thanks, Karen
