For general information DON'T use BACKUP/RESTORE ever.  Not only does
restore fail to work with v3.2, but the versions of backup/restore are
incompatible between versions (at least between v2.11 and v3.1).  To
top this off, they are rediculously slow.

One of my friends explained then v3.2 is supposed to fix a couple of
bugs in the way DOS handles filesharing and other neat things.
Unfortunately, they fixed only some simple things and made a couple of
other things a bit buggy.  He didn't elaborate on what was buggy, only
that 3.2 was a little dangerous to use.  Me, I'll stick with 3.1.
