Question: Can I backup on Windows NT/2000 or XP and restore on another system running Windows 95/98 or ME? Answer: No, a backup done on either windows NT/2000 or XP can only be restored on to a system running either NT/2000 or XP. The reason is that when Backup Now! 95/98/ME was written it was designed specifically for 95/98 and it used 8bit packets. Since Windows NT/2000 and XP supports longer filenames it required larger packets. Backup Now! NT/2000/XP uses 16bit packets. Since 8 will go into 16 then a backups done on windows 98 or ME can be restored on windows 2000. But a backups done on Windows NT/2000 or XP cannot be restored on windows 98 since 16 does not fit into 8. (4/28/03)
