Thanks for stepping in Bill. It was not until the last message that I
learned the problem involved Windows 98, an OS I do not have on either
computer.

Oh. Thanks for sending the schema change info to Kevin (Pocket Genealogist)
who has incorporated the changes and all is syncing well to my Dell Axim.
Kevin has "reproduced" the Genbox data on a PocketPC very nicely.

Best,

Denise

Hi Kathy,

I was able to get the incorrect "Insufficient disk space" error message on
Windows 98.

I have traced it to the new GetFreeVolumeSpace() routine, which was added in
3.6.3 so that Genbox can detect when the target volume is not able to hold
the complete backup. Apparently, Windows 98 is not returning the correct
value for free space.

I'll get it corrected for the next release. In the mean time, you can use
WinZip, PkZip, or simply copy your files to the backup directory.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

--Bill
