I use the shareware utility DOSLFNBK to write the long filenames 
to a restorable database before backing up.  Actually, I backup 
using an OS/2 program; DOSLFNBK runs fine in a DOS session under 
OS/2 and I have restored the backups to a bare freshly formated 
partition and the lfn's came through just fine.
