Hi, If you are using dos 2 to 5. Restore drive1: drive2:
Example: restore a: C\mystuff\data.mnt
A: is the source C:\mystuff the destination and data.mnt is the file being restored.
In 6 and above use msbackup Example msbackup file-name.set The files should have a .set extension.
Most backup programs ask you to insert the first disk and the last disk to get all the resore information.
Hope this of some help. Knowing what version of dos and the extensions on the files would help give a better answer though.....=:)
