This is true, but it is also illegal.  You can't just give someone portions
of DOS (BACKUP/RESTORE).  They have to have legal copies of the version of
DOS that you used to BACKUP in the first place.

On the same lines, is it possible to patch the BACKUP/ RESTORE files so
that it doesn't check for version numbers ?
