# 5702- Backup Error Message when saving file in Corel VENTURA™ 8
                                   
     


When a publication is saved in Corel VENTURA 8, a second copy for backup purposes is created
in the same folder as the publication. For example, by default, if a file is named ‘test.vp', the
moment the file is saved, Ventura 8 creates a backup file and names it ‘Backup of test.vp'.

Some networks are still limited to the 8.3 naming convention.  Because ‘Backup of test.vp' is
considered a Long File Name, it won't be possible to save that filename to the network. The user
is notified that there was a problem making a backup copy.

To resolve this error and allow proper backup of publications over a 8.3 name standard network:

1.   Click Tools, Options.
2.   In the list of categories, click Save.
     3.   Un-check the ‘Prefix Backup with "Backup Of"' box.  That will create a file called
     ‘test.$vp' instead.
