That's the general direction. Added info:
Cannot Restore Backups That You Create in Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows
Me with the Windows XP Ntbackup Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q305381&
To resolve this behavior, restore the data from the tape or file by using
Msbackup on a computer that is running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows
Me.
Suggested workaround:
Obtain the W9x MSBACKUP program and run it in compatibility mode on the
WinXP computer. If you do not have the program you can download a copy from
Microsoft:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/msback.exe (558K)
....where the MSBACK.EXE file is a self-extracting file containing the
MSBACKUP.EXE program and supporting files.
Place this file on a floppy disk, open a DOS window, and execute the file.
The MSBACKUP.EXE program and supporting files will be extracted to the same
floppy.
You must then run the install program. Create a temporary directory on the
hard drive and then command A>INSTALL C:\TEMP (or whatever directory name
you made on the hard drive). MSBACKUP will then run and attempt to set
itself up.
It is during this process that some users tend to find WinXP not allowing
the program to proceed.
