To restore information from your backup diskettes to your

Windows 95 Help or your Windows 95 documentation for
information on restoring files.
When you're restoring files, the backup program prompts you
if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on the hard
disk. Make sure the backup version is the one you want
before overwriting the existing file.
Transferring Files to Another Computer
You've learned how to use diskettes to copy files from one com-
puter to another. One method for transferring files is to copy them
to a floppy diskette. The drawback to this method is that, unfortu-
nately, a high-density floppy diskette can only hold 1.44MB, a
serious limitation if you want to transfer a large amount of infor-
mation. There are several other ways. One is to use the Windows
95 briefcase. Another way is the TranXit
with your computer, which lets you transfer files through your
computer's serial, parallel or infrared ports.
The steps in this section provide an overview of how to use
TranXit to transfer files. For more detailed information about
TranXit, refer to the program's online help.
