Hi, Backupman. Could you change the default backup file name so it doesn't include the Forward Slash '/'? In some CJK system, the forward slash is an illegal letter for file name. Though I could change the file name manually, the auto backup will not function. Thanks.
Backupman
Forward Slashes are invalid characters in most file systems. BackupMan does not use filenames that contain them.

Hi, Mike. I was very surprised about your instant respond even in the weekend days. I hope backupman will be my final backup solution. When I tap the backup icon, a windows with title "Enter Name for Backup" appear, and the default filename did include a forward slash.
I tried to changed the date format in palm system, but it didn't work. The filename appeared in the form "2/ - 11.51 am". So if you change the month format, I guess the problem will be solved.
Backupman
Interesting.
It asks the system for the 3-letter Month abbr to put where you have a "2/". It should read "Feb". I specifically ask the OS for dfMDYLongWithComma which should always return a constant value regardless of the OS Language.
I'll try and think of a useable solution for CKJ system, but I can't make any promises. It sounds like it's trying to localize the date string, and there's not much I can do about that.

I'll forward this series of emails to the CJK system company if you don't mind. Maybe you and the CJK programmers could work together on this issue. The response from CJK system could delay for a week due to the Chinese's New Year vacation.
If there is no easy solution on date format, could BackupMan use a user-defined name for auto backup? I think this is the easiest way to avoid the slash.
Backupman
I can't use a user defined name for automated backup because it changes. I have to be able to query the system to get the month name so that I can keep multiple backups straight.
I'm hoping that I can work with CKJOS people to find a solution.作者: 阿輝 時間: 2003-2-3 11:31 標題: Re:BackupMan 1.1 [Matika 兄請進] BackupMan....
