Sorry. I didn't read your instructions carefully enough.

new results:
from a command prompt in the BA2KWS_TEST directory type baii.exe
This opens the baii PM interface with hot start window. From there I attempt to open the defined TestSet from the File/backup menu, but selecting the File/backup menu item turns the cursor into a clock face which I've never waited long enough for it to go away on its own. Can kill this with TOP. There's not much CPU or disk activity while waiting but a huge baii.trc file is being created.
I've also tried putting the TestSet.bst file in the Sets subdir so it shows up on the hot start wizard, but this leads to a similar result, except TOP won't kill this condition--reboot time.
To test whether these steps have any hope of working I tried them with my BA2K installation. Both ways work there and produce a backup container.
I have replaced BAII.CFG from your zip file with mine and experimented with various preference settings, copying yours in parameters that I don't think should matter (compression, scan etc.), to see if that helped. It didn't.
Thanks again,
Ben
