[comp.os.msdos.misc] MS-DOS 3.2 and 3.3 RESTORE program

lih@cbnewsk.att.com (andrew.a.lih) (10/31/90)

Does anyone know about the differences between the DOS 3.3 and
DOS 3.2 restore and backup programs?

They seem to use different file formats with DOS 3.3 packing
all the files into one large file on the backup media while
DOS 3.2 stores each file individually.

What seems strange is that in one instance I could restore
3.2 backups with DOS 3.3's "restore" and in another I could not.

Does anyone have any experience with these two backup formats?

Response via EMAIL would be appreciated. Thanks.
