Title 'Using backup copy of QNX contact Quantum Software' message after using FBACKUP
Ref. No. QNX.000009341
Category(ies) Utilities, Filesystem
Issue We used FBACKUP to restore an archive from floppy disks.  When we reboot we get the message "Using backup copy of QNX contact Quantum Software", and our machine locks up.


Solution There is no license on the disk.  The BACKUP and FBACKUP utilities will copy the files stored within the /netdisks directory, but the copied files are not useful for network configuration.  Do not copy the contents of the /netdisks directory (at least for the restore).  If restoring from a backup to a hard disk, it will be necessary to re-run NETSIZE with the various disks to have the node boot from its own hard disk, and also participate on the network.
