Look on the WinME cd in addons and there is an MS backup that you can
install.  Be aware that MS has been known to change the format of the
backups so that one version of Win9x backup is not compatible with the next
version.  If the WinME backup won't read files, then find a computer running
Win95 and get the data back into a readable form .

> Some time ago I backed up some work onto floppy discs ( 14 discs in
total )  using Microsoft Backup on my Windows 95 PC. I now need to restore
the files on these discs to my PC but have since purchased a new PC which
has a Windows ME operating system. When I try to open the discs I receive a
message advising that there is no programme associated with these type of
files. It would appear that "MS Backup" is not part of my Windows ME System.
> When looking at properties of the files on the floppy discs the files are
identified as QIC Files

my PC or is there any software available which would do the job
