MSDOS RESTORE (pre-1995)

I realise that this is probably not the best place to ask DOS questions, but I wouldn't have a clue where to post DOS-related matters

The inevitable has happened and I've been asked to restore some files from a 23/11/1995 MSDOS backup (I think it was DOS 5.x or 6.x at the time).

I'm attempting to use the NT4.0 RESTORE.exe DOS command which RECKONs it can do DOS restores. Problem is that it doesn't seem to recognise the backup - the msg:

Source does not contain backup files

I remember that the old backups were a bit fiddly to restore. Any ideas where I can get a 5.x or 6.x MSDOS version of the RESTORE.exe command and try using that?

Any help much appreciated!

IPTABLES-RESTORE(8)                                               iptables 1.6.1                                               IPTABLES-RESTORE(8)

NAME

       iptables-restore -- Restore IP Tables

       ip6tables-restore -- Restore IPv6 Tables

SYNOPSIS

       iptables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]

       ip6tables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       iptables-restore  and ip6tables-restore are used to restore IP and IPv6 Tables from data specified on STDIN or in file. Use I/O redirection
       provided by your shell to read from a file or specify file as an argument.

       -c, --counters
              restore the values of all packet and byte counters

       -h, --help
              Print a short option summary.

       -n, --noflush
              don't flush the previous contents of the table. If not specified, both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the  respec-
              tive table.

       -t, --test
              Only parse and construct the ruleset, but do not commit it.

       -v, --verbose

       -M, --modprobe modprobe_program
              Specify  the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-restore will inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine the exe-
              cutable's path.

       -T, --table name
              Restore only the named table even if the input stream contains other ones.
