Ive just been downloading some Win95 antivirus stuff and it got me thinking about the best way to backup my system. Ive got a jumbo tape drive which previously ran a DOS app and Ive now downloaded the Win95 app from their homepage. All nice and pretty but what happens if I a disaster does happen? X-SMTP-Posting-Host: schemed.demon.co.uk [Sun, 26 Nov 95 16:08:15 GMT] If I continue to use the DOS backup it will not save the system config of Win95 (I reckon) so that when I come to restore the whole system my Windows 95 won't work.... If I use the Windows 95 app and I need to restore the whole system then how Im going to get the Windows 95 tape app running without Windows 95? Apart from re-installing Windows 3.1 and then re-installing Windows 95 Not a great situation to be in! By the way neither App recognises the others backup (nice eh?) This Windows 95 startup disk reacts just like a DOS boot disk as far as I can see...is there more to it? Or if someone can reassure me that a total DOS backup will restore Win95 without hassle I'll stick to that.. So if someone's got a few minutes and has a good idea about this problem I'd like to get it sussed before something really does go wrong!:-) By the way anyone know a good shareware DOS antivius program that not only detects them but does something about them and it can fit on a floppy (for a boot up disk, just in case)..... ========================================================================= Michael McSkeane mmc@schemed.demon.co.uk Life's a bitch - then you join Demon and it gets worse
