Craig,

Are you going from OS/2-HPFS (or HPFS386) to NT-NTFS?  If so, the EA's are
handled differently by the filesystem, and you'll end up with the files
being "changed."  If both filesystems were FAT, this wouldn't happen.  I
believe that OS/2 FAT to NT-NTFS would be OK, but converting the HPFS
partition to FAT (with a program like Partition Magic) may result in the
loss of data.  And if it's HPFS386, I don't think you can convert to FAT.

I hope that helps on the explaination side, but I think you're stuck with a
"Full" backup.
