[net.micro.pc] PC-DOS 3.0 Restore utility doesn't seem to work!

ral@pyuxqq.UUCP (R A Levenberg) (07/13/85)

After backing up a directory with
	backup *.* b:
and creating 3 disks, I find the restore utility, invoked via
	restore b: *.*/p
in a different directory than the original claims that it found
no files to restore!  Is there a 3.0 bug, and is there a fix?

HELP!!!!!!

There definately is a bug in the DOS 3.0 Backup program. It apparently
writes out a floppy of info then messes up writing the directory.
Fixed in 3.1. I don't have either though, I just know people who
have gone through the same grief as you. Apparently it makes the
directory length zero or something. If you can fix that the
restore will work (ie the floppy of info is OK)
