                            RESTORE

The RESTORE external command copies one or more files from diskettes to a 
hard disk.  The files on the diskettes must have been placed there by the
compantion command to RESTORE, BACKUP. 

    RESTORE d1: [d2][pathname][filename[.ext]][/S][/P]
or
    RESTORE d1: [d2][pathname][filename[.ext]][/S][/P][/M][/N]
					      [/option:date or time][DOS 3.3]
	    \_/  \__________________________/  where option is A, B, E or L.
	     \source	\destination/

d1: is the source diskette drive (usually A:).

d2: is the letter of the destination hard disk you are restoring to (usually 
    C:).

pathname is the destination directory name to restore the files to. If no
    pathname is specified, only files in the current directory are restored.

filename[.ext] is the name of the file or files to restore. To restore all
    files, don't give any filename or use *.*.


/S causes directories, subdirectories and files to be restored.

/P tells DOS to prompt before restoring a file modified since being backed
    up or which is read only. 

/M will cause RESTORE to restore only files modified after being backed up.

/N will cause RESTORE to restore only files that do NOT exist on the
    destination drive.

/A:date will cause RESTORE to restore only files modified on or after the
    specified date. The date format is described in the DATE command topic.

/B:date will cause RESTORE to restore only files modified on or before the
    specified date. The date format is described in the DATE command topic.

/E:time will cause RESTORE to restore only files modified on or before 
    (earlier than) the specified time.

/L:time will cause RESTORE to restore only files modified on or after 
    (later than) the specified time.

RESTORE should not be run when an APPEND path is defined. Turn APPEND off 
(APPEND ;) first. Don't use RESTORE on ASSIGNed, JOINed, or SUBSTed drive 
letters.
