Lines: 19 Our lab just installed FastBack Plus on our HP Vector RS/23 and I'm having some problems trying to do a partial restore. Our hard drive is partitioned as C, D, E and F. I performed a differential (partial) backup of one directory on the C partition. The data was backed up to a single 3.5" floppy. I want to restore the data to partition F, instead of C, where it came from originally. It works fine when I tell it to restore all of the data contained on the floppy, but when I try to get a directory of the floppy (for selective file restoration) I get error 84- Unable to locate history files. After this error, I restore the history files to drive F from the floppy backup. I try to get a listing again (via the "Choose Files" command and F3.) It gives me the error when I hit F3. Can someone please explain where I'm going wrong? I know that what I'm doing sounds pretty trivial, but I'm supposed to write a technical report on this so that others may be saved the trouble of what I'm going through- so it has to be thorough. Thanks in advance, -George
