When you execute RESTORE, it usually prompts you to start with BACKUP DISK 01, 
but if the file you want is on some other disk, then start with the one you 
need, and ignore the error message (if any) about an incorrect disk sequence.

Unlike COPY and XCOPY, RESTORE does not have a /V option. Execute the VERIFY 
command to turn VERIFY ON before doing a restore if there is any question about
the reliability of the destination diskettes. See the NEW_TERMS VERIFY topic 
for more information. 

Using BACKUP and RESTORE is a way to copy a large file (greater than the size 
of a single diskette) from one computer to another.

RESTORE with one level of DOS may not read diskettes created by BACKUP for 
another level of DOS. Use caution when changing levels of DOS. Run a few 
compatibility tests first. RESTORE 3.3 on most systems is a lot different than 
preceding levels of RESTORE.

RESTORE can handle lots of subdirectories and will restore duplicate named
files (a file in two directories with the same name) correctly. Older versions
of BACKUP (prior to 3.3) can selectively restore a file (by specifying a 
filename) that was a duplicate of another on the backup diskette by specifying
the extension .* or .??? on the RESTORE command. Otherwise, RESTORE will say 
it can't find the file. (A duplicate filename on the backup diskette is 
indicated by the presence of an extension of the form .@nn, where nn is a 
number.) Later versions of RESTORE don't have this problem.

Some versions of RESTORE will restore the DOS system (hidden) files or 
COMMAND.COM if they are on your backup diskettes. Unless you are doing a full 
restore to an empty hard disk, this will probably put them in the wrong place 
on the disk. Then you system may not boot later. The safe solution is to 
delete them from the backup diskette at the time BACKUP puts them there 
(which may not possible without a separately purchased program). The other 
solution is to only do full restores from such diskettes.
