I have backup diskettes that were made using the old dos backup command which produces filename.001, filename.002, etc. My windows 98 will not let me restore the files. I tried to load MS dos 6.22 on the pc but still no backup command…only msbackup which will not work.

However, I don’t think the installation program is there. Check the 00index.txt file.
Otherwise, I couldn’t find a download site either.

Thanks for all your help. I finally decided that I could not use the win98 to get what I wanted, so I installed DOS 6.22 which wiped the pc (I was going to donate to charity anyway). It used the msbackup for the restore. I rebuild the catalog and it asked me to do a repair. Everything looked good..even asked which directories and showed files that I wanted to restore, BUT then got the message that the file had been saved with DOS 6.0 or 6.2 and could not be restored. I have packed up the pc, and have decided that probably I could have researched and rekeyed the data quicker than trying to find a fix. If I had the old ROOTS IV software, it might possible have had the right DOS built into it, but I tried for a week with google searches, ebay, etc and could never find the program. Thanks for all the suggestions and the download. At least I know that my pc is clean of my personal data to be given away. Do you need the win 98 upgrade that I have? It was used once, has the cd with key and book still in the original box.
Of course, it’s always possible that some other backup program produced these files.
