[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Fastback Problem

marcus@quiche (Mark FREEDMAN) (01/03/90)

I have a catalog from an old version (5.13? 1985) which seems to be
incompatible with version 2.09 : the new version can niether read
from the old catalog nor create a new one from the (old) disks. Is
there a utility which will convert older catalogues to the new format?


					Thanks in advance

I used Fastback Plus to back up an old hard disk. I went and got a new hard
disk and tried to restore the old data to the new hard disk and I get error
messages telling me that the disk has errors. Is there any thing special I need
to do? Was I supposed to have some history files somewhere? I get the same
error messages and 3 different backups I try -- so I don't think that all the
disks have the same physical errors. I can reconstruct the data from other
disks but using fastback to restore would save me time -- that's why I used it.
I usually work in Mac and Unix os so dos mess-ups are not unusual for me. Any
suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.
