    I have: PD for Mac v.3.0 build 4560, Guest op Windows XP Pro. Machine is latest MacBook Pro, OS 10.4.10, everything updated.

    I periodically backup some data files from two Windows programs by drag/drop onto a Mac folder in the shared folders. Sometimes I copy/paste instead. Both work. BUT, for two specific files, AFTER I do the backup and restart the Windows program, the ORIGINAL file in the Windows program is corrupted, whereas the backup file, stored over on the Mac side, is fine. If I try to restore from the backup file, one of the two files stays corrupted! It's and xml file.

    Any ideas?
