| I run my old dos based accounting system BPI Accouting 5.0 on 6.22 dos and Win 3.1(no internet on these computers) Only a floppy drive. I try to keep 2 computers up to date in case of problems. One computer is giving me problems so I’ve bought a new/used one, as I’ve done many times, formatted hard drive, loaded the dos 6.22, then windows, then the dos accounting program and configured msbackup, the program I always use to backup and restore between the computers. Well, for some reason I cannot get the newer computer to see the catalog on the last disk of the backup (this has never happened before and I’ve tried numerous backups with same problem) so I can’t get my accounting info to the new computer. I’m ONLY trying to get the accounting info on the newer computer. The win 3.1 program I have to do basic stuff and there’s no info on there I need to move or save to new computer. So, I was thinking I can remove the hard drive from the newer computer that already has all the core programs loaded on it, hook it into the old computer IDE cable, and load my accounting info files directly from old drive to the newer one with some magical letters at the c:. I’m won’t say I’m computer ignorant, but not smart either. I know just enough to get me into trouble. So, any help/advise would be greatly appreciated. PS – now if you could give me some advice on how the get “Msbackup” to read my catalog in restore mode, I would go that route instead.
