It might be possible to fool the 6.2 RESTORE using the SETVER
command, but that may or may not work. Microsoft's BACKUP/RESTORE
have never, in 16 years of evolution, handled version upgrades in a
robust manner.
You copied that RESTORE from somewhere. Any chance that you can
boot from a 6.2 boot floppy and run the restore from there? (You may
not have access to any FAT32 partitions if you do that....)
