Back up QIC

[Craig Green]

I want to access an old back up file which was done under
Win 98 and has the file extension qic. I now have XP Pro
and I can't restore, as it does recognise the qic
extension.

Without having to reinstall win 98, is there any way
round this problem?

Greetings --

No, I'm afraid not, at least using native Microsoft tools. There
may be a 3rd party solution provided by one of the software
manufacturer who specialize in backup solutions, such as Veritas or
Cheyenne. You'll need to restore the files using a Win98 PC before
trying to transfer them to WinXP.

No with XP Backup. You need to download MYBackup program to restore
QIC files. See http://www.stompinc.com/trial/
