Title: Error Message "Other Operation in Progress" During Backup
Date: 8/11/88

What causes the error message "Other Operation in Progress" when nothing
is happening during a 3+ Backup operation on a 3S/401 using 3BMEN?

This message occurs when you do NOT have an Elgar Power Fail
Backup System installed in your server and PFAIL.SYS is included
in your Config.sys.  To solve:

1. Remove "PFAIL.SYS" from Config.sys.  It is usually line 9 or
10 of the config.sys file and can be removed with Edlin (or
any editor which will avoid adding any control or formatting
characters.)

2. Reboot the server.

3. Wait 10 minutes.

4. Try again.
