I finally received Arcada Backup for Windows 95 by AirBorne Express this morning (after ordering it in November!). The version number is 1.0a and it certainly looks like the original they cut last year (September 95 date on the .EXE). My first big problem: I've got a SCSI DAT drive and Arcada has identified it correctly. I've cut some new backups and read them just fine. The problem is Arcada won't read any of my old backups! These backups were made using Arcada Backup for DOS/Windows and if I boot back to my old DOS side, I can still read the tapes. I called Arcada Tech Support and they say the Arcada Backup for Win95 "might not read old backups". What the ...!? I checked their web site and found a FAQ for this product. It states directly in the FAQ that this product *should* read old backups. What has been other peoples experience with restoring older backup sets, especially with SCSI devices like a DAT drive? Are all these old backups now in Arcada Backup hell? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Adelsman Rochester, MN USA http://www.isl.net/~adelsman badelsman@aol.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge" adelsman@infonet.isl.net - Albert Einstein
