I have been trying to make a new backup. I always rename my old backups
before making new ones. Still have the same problem.
Just for the hell of it, I am trying to delete all recent packages. My last
backup that worked was a month ago, so if there is an offending package, it
is probably one of the following.
An e-text I made with paperback
An e-text I made with Newt's Cape
The recent update to BackTalk
Someone here suggested it might be a package with the copy protection bit
set. Any ideas how to track down the package if that's so?
