Quarterback Restore Problem

emufan · 15 April 2016, 10:49

i have problems restoring a QB archive from 6 floppies. tested 7.x 4.x and a 2.x version. some say "corrupted directory" another cannot find anything.
I uploaded Prof.Midi.Collection-Quarterback.archive.zip into the zone.
please someone unpack this archive and reupload - i cannot say if it is bad, but I refuse to test another Qb version and get another error-message

oh, sorry, but I wanted you to try to extract/restore the quarterback-archive, which is on the 6 diskimages - not the zip archive itself

Quarterback is a archiving tool, which can pack files from a hardrive into a large archive as a single file, or on one or more floppy disks.
it is is sort of mutliple-rar-archive, which you can create with winrar, for example (rar, r00, r01, r02 ...) .

so one must have the correct quarterback version and must feed the program with all 6 floppy-images - so the original files can be used again.

the trouble is, either the archive is really broken, or I didnt found the correct version to restore/unpack the files in the archive.

thanks for your time

LOL Now I understand what you wanted I'll have a look to see if I've got quarterback.

It looks like you needed Version 6.0

Now in the Zone with no warnings from Quarterback

Yes, Quarterback is quite fussy like that.

yes, and beware, it hates anything other than FFS filesystem. I got corrupted when using it on my partitions using SFS.

Prefer ABACKUP

I've found another program packed with Quarterback - and i failed again.
i tried 4.2 5.0 5.04 5.12 6.0 and 7.3.1 - no success :/

can anyone try to extract Polygraph_QuarterBack.Archive.DMS in the zone?

#1) the program's real title is Polylab and can be found on aminet.
i delete the file from the zone, thanks for watching this space
