The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q95855
SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when you back up to a
network drive using Microsoft Backup for Windows
Not ready error accessing drive x
where x is the letter of your network drive.
CAUSE
This error occurs when the network generates a timeout error, due to
the way MS-DOS creates a file for the backup. Therefore, this error
occurs more often with a slow server or when you're doing a very large
backup.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, either back up smaller portions of your
hard disk or increase your timeout setting for your network. If you
are using Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 or later, or a 100-percent
LAN Manager-compatible network, add the following statement to the
[workstation] section of the LANMAN.INI file.
