How can I restore backup (.bak) MS-DOS for Vista?

I have an old set of MS - Dos 3.5 "disk created with the BACKUP of MS-DOS command. In MS-DOS the RESTORE command should be used
to restore this backup set but this command is not supported under Vista's CMD mode.

Any help/ideas would be VERY APPRECIATED!

Hello Zohan777,

Have you tried the backup program that is installed with the Windows Vista operating system?

  • How can I restore my old profile data for the reinstalled firefox

    had a problem with the opening of firefox and he suggested that I install a new version, I did and I have an "old data firefox" file. My question is how can I reinstall the old file and all the stuff that's about it.

    A 'Old Firefox Data' folder on the desktop is created when you reset Firefox.

    You should be able to copy the data selected from this folder to the current Firefox profile folder.

    For bookmarks that you would need to file places.sqlite or possibly restore bookmarks from a JSON backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How can I restore my Acer laptop running windows Vista to the factory specifications?

    I was given an Acer Aspire laptop. It is running Windows Vista with 512 MB memory RAM. It has been used and I want to try to restore it to the factory specifications. How can I do this? I tried system restore and it fails every time.

    Hello

    you have a very low amount of RAM to run Vista

    System Restore should not perform a recovery plant

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Acer is usually press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process or through the Acer eRecovery Management under all programs

  • How can I restore Mozilla Firefox in Outlook for my email?

    Somehow I signed up for Outlook, I was very happy with Firefox.  Now all my new email is sent to Outlook, but I was able to transfer my address book and records.  So, I need to check my new emails on an account and deal with the files on the other.  How can I change so all my email goes to Firefox?

    There is absolutely no way that you can use Outlook accidentally.  You do not have to 'sign up' for Outlook.  Outlook is an e-mail client that will not run unless you execute it deliberately.

  • How can I restore backup of iPad 2 new iPad 2 look like iTunes

    I just bought a new iPad 2 air.  My old iPad was an iPad 2 (2010).  The old iPad is saved on iTunes.  When I try to restore I get a message: cannot be restored because the software is too old.  First set as new iPad then restore the software to the latest version.

    My computer is a new iMac running OS 10.11.3

    The new iPad has been implemented as a new iPad but I still get the message.  What I'm doing wrong or how I can get the info on the old to the new?

    Claire

    Hi helen610

    You must update your new iPad 2 air to the latest version of iOS.

    Settings > general > software update

    Once you're on the latest version, you will be able to restore your backup.

    Yes, I used the built in «Back to the top of the tool» Unfortunately I don't have the CD. My Netbook is a HP mini computer that comes with Windows XP home. Thank you for your help and I hope to hear from you again.

    I suggest you call HP support.
