Got a question for the more knowledgable of you.  My boss was attempting
to move some budget files from one system to another using backup and
restore.  The files were orignally on an XT.  They were being transferred
to an AT.  She repeatedly go an error message on the restore cycle stating
that the "source does not contain backup files."  Since the only files on
the disk were "backup.001" and "control.001" this seems to be incorrect.
Is there something inherently incompatible with the two systems?  Could it
be  a difference between the two versions of BACKUP and RESTORE? 
We at first thought it might have been the high density A: drive but when 
we tried it from the normal density B: drive it still gave us the same
message.  Since this seems to have been done before it just defies all
reason.  Any help would be appreciated.

Best,
Bob
