in reply to Getting access to the Win32 BackupRead API function

Win32API::File that comes with Perl supports backup semantics for file access. I recall briefly trying to use it and not figuring it out. But Win32API::File exposes the full power of the APIs that it exports so it should just be a matter of figuring out MS docs on the API.

Win32::API::Prototype is just a wrapper around Win32::API so you can do the translation by hand fairly easily (if you find using Win32::API easy).

    Cool, cheers. I'll look into it.
