I backed up my hard disk some time ago, to 3.5 disks using Apple Backup
1.1A(I
don't like image backup programs).  Backup // is pretty smart, before it will
continue backing up, it verifies the diskette that everything is alright.
FINE! Then my hard disk(Profile) decied that it wanted to screw up (rather
Proterm after it crashed once and I restarted from the monitor). So I copied
all the newest files, then Zapped the hard disk with a utility that Zeros
every block out. No problem.

 Now over the last week or so I've been busy doing other things, so the hard
disk was left alone. Today I decided I wanted to restore it. It seems that
the first 3.5 has developed some errors(about 4 blocks as confimred by Copy 2
Plus). Seems that Backup // cannot handle bad sectors, it declares an I/O
error and aborts.  

 The problem? I can't restore my hard disk.

Equipment :

Apple //e enhanced
Unidisk 3.5
Apple Backup // v1.1A(as modifed by Morgan Davis to handle 3.5 disks).
Profile 5mb.

Help required:

If anyone has any ideas, please post them to the net, or get me in Email.
Even
if you know(MORGAN) how Backup // stores the information on the disk, I may
be
able to get it out manualy(though I would perfer it to easier than that).

Help, suggestions, soloutions will be greatly appreciated!
