I agree that restoring file from a Fastback backup is relatively non-intuitive--I usually have to turn on the "write over" option unless I'm sure a file of the same name does not exist in the target directory Then you have to browse through the catalog to see which number disk in the backup set contains the file (unless you want the program to look through all the disks!!). Finally, Fastback doesn't exactly shout that it actually has restored the file, and continues to read the other filenames on the disk after it has done the restore, unless you take the disk out. But I put up with it though. -- Michael Volow, Psychiatry, Durham VA Med Center, Durham NC 27712 919 286 0411 Ext 6933 mvolo@ecsvax.edu
