The backup restore programs under DOS 3.3 us a completely different
format than the previous ones, and are considerably faster.
 
To restore your 3.2 backup, just boot a 3.2 master floppy and type
the appropriate restore command. Be carufull NOT to overwrite the
system files of 3.3 (you can do this with /P I think)
 
DO NOT USE XCOPY OR COPY TO RESTORE A DOS 3.2 OR EARLIER BACKUP!!!
 
The bachup program writes a block of backup info at the head of each
file, that will not be removed when you use COPY.
