- I'm not sure about restoring you backup files after installing OS/2.
-
- However, I do know that you don't have to do the migration at install
- time. OS/2 includes a migrate program which you can use to perform
- program migration at any time. So after you have installed OS/2 and
- restored you application you can then do the migration.
