Hi, I did find an app that sounds like what you want, dosrestore on this page, http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/software/ From the info in this page, it sounds like the file format may depend on with which version the backups were made, so it might not work. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=609142 If the dosrestore utility doesn't work, you should be able to use DOSBox, or dosemu with FreeDOS, and msbackup.exe. Hope this helps, -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
