I am having some problems restoring a dos backup and I am at a loss
do what to try next.  I feel that I'm a relatively experienced DOS
user and hve done backup/restore many times.

I am using MS-DOS 3.3 Plus on my 286 SuperSport Zenith laptop.  If I do
a ver it says ms-dos ver 3.3.0 Bios ver 3.3.05.  I made my backup
with backup ver 3.30.06. and trying to restore with restore ver 3.30.06.

When I try to restore my files I get a message:

Invalid Backup Disk

No files selected

I have done directories on the disks and they appear to be OK.  Each disk
has the BACKUPID file and the the files that I have backed up.  

the restore command have tried was : restore a: c:\*.*/s
and the backup was                 : backup *.* a:/s

What am I doing incorrectly?? And what can I do to get my files restored.

Any help will greatly be appreciated and please e-mail all responses.

Thanks,
Bryan
