Notes and Suggestions
• RESTORE works best if BUFFERS= 5 (or greater) in the
CONFIG.SYS file (See Appendix B).
• As long as you have a complete library of backup diskettes,
restoring your
hard disk should be straightforward. Suppose
you
want to restore all the files that were backed up from all
directories on Drive
C. Insert the first backup diskette into
Drive
A, then type:
l'
I
,
r
I
restore A: C:\/S [ENTERI
• If you wish to restore several files but not the entire disk, as
in the previous example, you may want to create a batch file
consisting of
the necessary backup commands. Then you can
do all the backups by simply running the batch file.
