Subj: WIndows 95 backup

EB> CS>How about NTBACKUP ? ;-) IMHO the best way to backup a
EB> CS>Windows 95 system is to install NT on the machine and use
EB> CS>NTBACKUP. Costs a bit of hard disk space, but that has
EB> CS>become affordable now ;-)
EB> CS>Do you mean the backup program that comes with NT?
EB> Yes
Okay. First of all, IMO it is not a very good backup program. Second, not all 
machines are suitable for running NT, not even for just backing up a 
harddisk. Third, NT itself is relatively expensive, so you'd be better off 
getting a good backup program for some of the money you'd spend on NT.

Subj: Windows 95 backup

FR> MW> Backup a win95 machine from a nt machine using nt backup?
FR> MW> sure, all the time.
FR> Nope, what I ment was copy NTBACKUP and whatever required files to
FR> the Windows 95 machine that ownes the tape drive and run NTBACKUP
FR> under Windows 95.
Hang on, I'll try it.
<setting up another machine, booting Windows 95, copying NTBACKUP.EXE
over to it>
<copying a lot of .DLLs, just to find that one of them is erroneously
linked to another file.>
Nope. Doesn't work.

Don't try it. I did, and it doesn't work.

BB> CS> Hm. How much could DOS handle, anyway? 16 MB?
BB> What's DOS?
I'm not quite sure myself. Somebody mentioned DOS for me some time ago, but 
they never really explained what it was. Probably nothing.
BB> CS> 64bit NT... that's the Alpha version, right?
BB> Yep, though there will be a 64bit NT for Merced too once Intel
BB> and HP get it out of the lab.
If they do. :)
