You have two big formats of MS-DOS backup files. Versions previous to 3.2 have this format: BACKUPID @@@ 128 4-05-91 3:21p COMMAND COM 23740 5-01-87 12:00a CONFIG SYS 414 4-05-88 8:49a AUTOEXEC BAT 635 4-05-88 8:49a There is one BACKUPID.@@@ file and one or more files with names identical to the files backed up to the disk.
Versions post 3.3 have this format: BACKUP 001 261577 04-05-91 5:00p CONTROL 001 651 04-05-91 5:00p
