The various versions of DOS backup and restore all record the full directory path from which each file was backed up. The restore program insists on putting the file back into the same directory from which it was backed up. If you try to restore into another directory, it'll notice that there aren't any files that were backed up from that directory and unhelpfully say "no files found to restore." It will restore onto a different volume than the one from which it backed up, so if you really don't want to restore to your original directory, you might try restoring onto a scratch floppy and then copying the files to where you want them.

The problem is with the dos 3.0 backup.com, a fixed version can be obtained from your dealer through IBM. I had the same problem. Dos 3.1 also has the updated version.
