Backup Not Compatible with Norton Backup Sets (96875)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
This article was previously published under Q96875 SUMMARY
Microsoft does not support retrieving and comparing data created with
Norton Backup.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Backup uses Microsoft DoubleSpace compression technology
developed specifically for MS-DOS 6.0. This compression engine
replaces the compression engine technology in Norton Backup, making
the two backup sets incompatible.
Microsoft Backup complies with the Microsoft Real Time Compression
Interface (MRCI), which allows it (without further modification) to
use a hardware implementation of the DoubleSpace compression server
(if one is present).
Although it is possible to create backups without compression,
Microsoft does not support exchanging backup sets with the Norton
Backup program.
