It can be that you need an update of doublespace.bin. to be able to restore your 6.0 backup, this update can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/drivers.htm
PS.I need an update from MS-DOS 6.0 to 6.22 or a complete 6.22 copy, would you by any chance know were to get it??

If your backups were compressed with DoubleSpace as Richard surgests, this is what I think to Download DoubleSpace.Bin from my resource site.
Richard You can download 6.22 Step-Up at same site. Converts 6.0, 6.2 or 6.21 to 6.22 in full. Without having to reinstall from the start!

Follow up to above.
Both MS-DOS 6.2 & 6.22 are internaly the same. It is only when you make compressed backups that Doublespace.bin (6.0 & 6.2) or Drivespace.bin (6.22)do the compression. Insure that you have both Bin files if you have mixed backup sets.
