DOSLFNBK (DosLongFileNameBackUp)
 

DOSLFNBK (DosLongFileNameBackUp) v2.5

runs in a DOS window and backs up and restores all the Windows 95 long filename records in any directory.



Windows 95 introduced long filenames (LFNs). However, old backup programs don't recognize LFNs, so they don't get properly backed up. Worse, the Windows 95 backup program doesn't support a lot of common backup hardware (e.g. Colorado Memory Systems tape drives using accelerator cards) and won't run in DOS mode, so recovery from a catastrophic disk failure can be really difficult.

Microsoft included a program with Windows 95 called LFNBK to back up your LFNs; however, it's very inconvenient to use. It requires changes to your Control Panel settings before and after use, and it works by stripping all the LFNs off your disk--so you need to restore them again after you've done your backup to tape. It will only run after Windows 95 has booted, so again you've got big problems after a catastrophic disk failure.

DOSLFNBK addresses these problems. It runs in any version of DOS that can see your disk, and can both backup and restore your files there. During backup, it makes no changes to the names, so you can routinely run it just before a tape backup and not have to undo the damage afterwards. It also allows partial backups and partial restores. It's best to run DOSLFNBK without any other programs running.
