Strange solution - but problem solved.
I eventually observed that the VM backups themselves were running to completion - only to fail during the "Writing Catalog" final phase. Wasn't sure what to make of that - but it was at least a clue. It began to "feel like" something unrelated to...
Forgive me if this topic has been covered already.
I am an old Clipper guy from the S'87 days (and before). Own S/N 1299 of Clipper. It has served me well as a consultant and software developer. Alas, Microsoft has been pushing 64 bit O/S and things got dicey.
Have been using Alaska...
1. BE is current (according to LiveUpdate).
2. Media Server is Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit).
3. Some VMs backup without error (repeatedly).
4. A few VMs ALWAYS get this same error.
5. These backups are being written to a 4.5 TB backup-to-disk folder that works for all other BE jobs. There is...
I've been using xBase++ for a couple of years now and find it amazingly compatible with my large installed base of Clipper code. It took a while to get comfortable with xBase++, but now that I have it has slowly become a very productive platform for my needs.
The only serious compatibility...
We are moving our applications (1 at a time) to Alaska's XBase++. With the Express++ library it is very Clipper 5.2e compatible and the transition is relatively easy.
A few third party library features we have used have slowed down progress a bit, but do not appear to be insurmountable.
I...
The short answer to your question is NO. Clipper RDDs are not functional with Alaska Xbase++. Xbase++ does have an inovative modular driver engine though. It has compatibility drivers for a variety of Clipper, Foxbase, FoxPro, and dBase DBF, memo file, and index types. But none that I have...
We've used OPUS MAKE utility for years on Windows 3.1, 95, and 98 without any problems. When I try to create an executable using a working "make" from any NT or Terminal Server session, it compiles fine. But I get an error out of the "Linking" process (using Blinker4) that...
Due to a convergence of technologies and our purchased MRP system, I have a problem that could be solved if I can safely access a DBF file simulataneously with Clipper 5.2e and Visual Basic (we are using version 6.0). Presently we are "linking" to the DBF file from within an...
