Steven,

Deleted the objects with the trailing 1, set the time using the TZ string
you provided, used your zip command line.

c: partition backed up without a problem. In fact it was so easy that I
backed up all partitions for the first time in years (but to another
partition on the same hard drive).

Now I will get RSJ going so I can copy the backups to it and put new
backups there.

I am curious about something svobi said in a post responding to my
question, "what files would you add to the never delete files in
Unimaint?" He said to add these files in c:\os2\dll: scenter.cfg and any
dockxx.config files because they are the Warp Center files.

Does Unimaint's desktop backup pick up these files as I assume. Or does
it only backup the files in the desktop folder?
