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.
