NTLFNBK v1.0 NTLFNBK is a public domain program designed to function as an add-on to Duncan Murdoch's DOSLFNBK program. It is essentially an NT version of DOSLFNBK that can backup (but not restore!) long file names from an NTFS partition. It collects long file name information from an NTFS partition and creates a backup file that is compatible with DOSLFNBK. It is a 32bit console application and will not run from the MSDOS real mode. NOTICE: This program *requires* DOSLFNBK to restore the long file names. Command line options use the Unix-style convention... options are separated by the "-" character, not the "/" character. Options are: -s include subdirectories (including empty directories) -a include all files -p prune the starting directory information -q operate quietly -c make compatible with DOSLFNBK versions < 2.0 -f specify an output file (default is backup.lfn) The options are fairly intuitive except for the "-p" option which is used to create a backup file that "looks like" it starts at the root directory. For example, if you're backing up a directory called C:\IMAGE95, but wish to restore that directory to C:\, you need to prune the "IMAGE95" starting directory from the backup file. When combined with other programs, such as CLONE and DOSLFNBK, NTLFNBK can be used to copy an entire Win95 "image", including long file names, from an NT network, while in the MSDOS real mode. For example, let's say you had a copy of a "Standard Win95 PC" loaded on a network server. To copy the contents of that network directory to your drive C: and restore the long file names, you'd type the following: (while in Win95 or WinNT) net use d: \\NTSERVER\SHARE cd d: ntlfnbk -s d:\ (while booted from "network boot" floppy) net use d: \\NTSERVER\SHARE clone -sham d:\ c:\ doslfnbk c: /r The C source is included and there are no restrictions on its use! The latest version of NTLFNBK is always available via anonymous FTP from moe.hood-dpw.army.mil.
