The DOS version of RESTORE (which is the ONLY thing that will restore
data from a BACKUP) was notorious for trashing hard drives. I only tried it
a couple of times and it did trash every HD that I tried it on.
As I already stated, this version simply never did anything. Even after
I told it to back up ONE file and left it for over an hour it was still
beating on my HD and SCSI tape but never copied the file.
They've all had their bugs, but
FYI I use Windows EVERYDAY and I just wasted 1/2
day yesterday trying to
get MS Backup to work. Backup hasn't worked since BEFORE Windows was
released. AFIK it has NEVER worked in Windows. That's just ONE example of
continuing problems with MS products!
And in what way wasn't it working? most of the explications and some of the work-arounds
are out there...
What's that? Buy a third party program?
