Considering that it reads the archive and displays the contents I think the data has not degraded.
I honestly hope for you that you're right, as it would be a shame to lose photographs this old, but I'm afraid that it being able to display contents does not necessarily mean that the archive isn't damaged.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289739 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 01:25:03 +0200 Reply by tapley https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289698 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289698 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 22:31:17 +0200 Reply by TopGear https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289599 http://www.digital-illusion.net/images/backup.gif Initial screen (error message), click ok and it shows the contents of the backup archive, start restore and thats as far as it goes.

I have windows 95 running on virtual box, and on windows virtual pc. I have tried to run ms backup but when it asks for the disks, even though windows 95 reads the drive it wont get any further and says waiting for tape. I even tried making floppy disk images, windows 95 reads them, but still cant get around waiting for tape problem. Basically I think emulation support unfortunately just wont cut it in the instance. And I cant seem to find any way of converting the files or any alternative ;( I even tried windows 98, windows me and ms-dos backup, but apparently "by design" yeah right ms backup is not backwardly compatible with older versions.
sounds like your backup is broken - emulated or not, it should just work come to think of it, if that has been on the same floppy disks for 12 years, yeah it probably is unreadable by now. those things dont keep data for that long.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289536 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 01:38:27 +0100 Reply by Noeandee https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289453 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289453 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 14:15:42 +0100 Reply by sidude7 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289443 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289443 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 13:46:46 +0100 Reply by TopGear https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289442 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289442 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 13:37:04 +0100 Reply by tesco https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289440 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289440 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 13:25:20 +0100 Reply by TopGear https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289438 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289438 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 13:20:49 +0100 Reply by WildEast https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289437 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289437 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 13:19:16 +0100 Created by TopGear https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-16160/page-1/?recent=289781#post=289435 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=16160&post=289435 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 13:07:39 +0100
