180455	2003-10-04 22:42:00	I have some Win 3.1 *.QIC backup files that I would like to restore. I'm running Win 98. Any way I can restore these? All help very much appreciated. KB.	kbcad (1025)

MS backup appears to have a notorious reputation Subject: restore file with ext " Qic " ( . net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/1845 . html" target="_blank">computing . net) Subject: qic restore ( . net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/111613 . html" target="_blank">computing . net) Subject: Win98 Restore Problem ( . net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/108236 . html" target="_blank">computing . net) It does appear that MS Backup was - and still is - designed for backup and restore to one machine . Read this ( . qic . org/html/faq/faq9 . html" target="_blank">www . qic . org) Consider restoring a copy of the backup to a machine running the same version of windows . Experimentation with different versions of 3x may be required .	Merlin (503)
