How can I read a MS Win95 backup file(.QIC)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win95.general.discussion (More info?)

I am trying to recover data from my clone backup computer that was running
Win95, I was burning a backup DVD with the MS backup program that came with
MS Win95..

This backup DVD has some information that I really need.

Is there a program that will read and recover a .QIC file ?

Thanks,

Mark

When I try to restore the .qic file from Win98, I get a error, " The current
media does not contain any backup sets. The operation will be caceled..

Does this mean the data is gone for good??

I am running Win98 to try to restore the backup, because I can not install
Win95 on the computer I am currently working with..

Are you talking about the msbackup in the olddos folder, because that does
not work..
