I must apologize for my earlier postings.
I have gotten some of my backups restored (I haven't finished yet). If I
use 5.0.1 I can get the backups restored properly. But sometimes it takes
more than one try (ie. separately restore directories taht fail ona whole
disk restore). I guess 5.0.2 will not read all 5.0.1 directory structures.
I assumed (wrongly) that 5.0.2 would restore ANY 5.0.1 backup

Kevin,
Yes. It appears that in some cases, 5.0.1 wrote backups that could not be
read by either 5.0.1 or 5.0.2. So, it is strongly suggested that backups
done with 5.0.1 or 5.0 be redone with 5.0.2. This really only applies to
floppy backups, but tape users will also gain in redoing backups. The
order in which files and drawers were backed up has been optimized so that
restores are always as fast as can be from tapes.
