PROREST - Accross Platforms

[salil]

Hi,

We are having Progress 8.3D databases distrubuted over Windows and Linux platforms for Mfgpro ver 9. We are generating incremental dataslices using PROBKUP command.

Does anybody have any idea whether a data slice generated on a DOS platform can be restored on a Linux platform. When i am trying to do so, the progress throws error number 1058 and 1059. Both the errors mention that there is some corruption with the backup header. However a DOS based database works directly on Linux platform and vice-versa.

Please help.

1. Database name must be <= 11 characters.

2. Both platforms have the same type of processor(s) (i.e. Intel 32 bit machines).
