    Syntax - RESTORE source drive: [target drive:] pathname [/S] [/P]

    DOS 2.11 - HARD DISK ORGANIZATION

    (External) Reastores one or more files from diskettes to a hard disk.
    The files MUST have been stored on diskette with the BACKUP command.

            source drive: specifies the drive that contains the backup
                    diskette.

            target drive: specifies the hard disk drive to which you want
                    to restore.

            pathname specifies the hard disk directories and/or file you
                    want to restore.

            /S      restores the directory specified by pathname as well as
                    its subdirectories.

            /P      prompts the user before restoring read-only files and
                    before restoring any files that have been changed since
                    the last backup.

    Example:
            restore a:  c:*.doc /p

    Syntax - RESTORE source drive: [target drive:] pathname [/S] [/P]
             [/B:date] [/E:time] [/L:time] [/M] [/N]

    DOS 3.2 - HARD DISK ORGANIZATION

    (External) Same as for 2.11 with this exception:  You can specify
    either a floppy disk drive or a hard disk drive for the source drive
    and for the target drive.  Source files MUST have been stored with
    the BACKUP command.

            source drive: specifies the disk drive that contains the
                    backup files.

            target drive: specifies the disk drive to which you want to
                    restore.

            pathname specifies the disk directories and/or file you want
                    to restore.

    NOTE: /S is the same for MS-DOS 3.2 as for Version 2.11

            /P      prompts before restoring hidden or read-only files
                    and before restoring any files that have been changed
                    since the last backup.

            /B:date restores only those files that were last modified on or
                    BEFORE the given date (mm-dd-yy).

            /A:date restores only those files that were last modified on or
                    AFTER the given date (mm-dd-yy).

            /E:time restores only those files that were last modified at or
                    EARLIER than the given time (hh:mm).

            /L:time restores only those files that were last modified at or
                    LATER than the given time (hh:mm).

            /M      restores only those files that have been modified since
                    the last backup.

            /N      restores only those files that no longer exist on the
                    target drive.

    Example:
            restore a: c:*.txt /n
