6.00

MS-DOS

= SYMPTOMS =

If you try to restore a backup set with a catalog file rebuilt with another version of Microsoft Backup (for example, you create the backup set with Microsoft Backup for Windows and try to restore it with the MS-DOS version), one of the following problems may occur:


 * The system may restart (reboot).
 * The system may stop responding (hang).
 * The error message “Cannot read volume information from diskette” may appear.

= CAUSE =

To restore a backup with a rebuilt catalog file, you must use the version of Microsoft Backup that you used to create the rebuilt catalog file.

= WORKAROUND =

To work around this situation, restore the backup set using the same version of Microsoft Backup that you used to rebuild the catalog file.
