S 6.45 Data backup under Windows 95
Initiation responsibility: Head of IT Section, IT Security Management
Implementation responsibility: IT-user
The requirements of S 6.32 Regular data backup should generally be
observed. In the following, particular aspects of data backup which must be
taken into account under Windows 95 are listed:
When possible under Windows 95, the only backup programs that should be
used are those that support long file names (e.g. the Windows 95 program
BACKUP.EXE). To convert long file names to the conventional 8.3, the
supplied program LFNBK.EXE is available. Particular care must be taken
when using this program. Possible file names or even single files cannot be
reconstructed if, after the backup, changes have been made to the directory
structure of the PC from which the backup is being made.
Additional controls:
- Are backup programs being used that cannot process long file names?
