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
