Colorado Backup

[CA1271888]

I have backup .img files created in 1995. Based on the documents, Colorado Backup software was used. All the .img files are on a removable HD now and I am trying to recover these files on my XP machine. I do not have any tape drives, I may need just the software. Any help?

Thank you very much!

I sent you an email regarding this.

Does anyone know if the Colorado Backup software can be used on a XP machine to do a file restore?

Colorado Backup II was designed to work with HP tape drives only. Without a tape drive attached you will get the message "no devices found" and will not be able to proceed from there

I have a Seagate STT 20000A and Colorado Backup Lite for Windows ver. 1.20. It installs fine on Windows 98 but does not see the tape drive. The tape drive is seen fine by the OS and Backup Exec. Any way to make this work with Colorado Lite or am I on the wrong path?

If so, I should look on ebay for a tape drive.
Does this extension .img tell you anything? Software version? Hardware type supported?

HP has, I think, six flavors of Colorado Backup (including Jumbo, Trakker...) I found the tapes also, there are 3M, some of them 250MB and bigger capacity. Will Jumbo be the one to look for?

Thank you again for your patience!

Colorado backup Lite was a DOS based software that had a Windows GUI. It did not work in win95 and beyond. This is a Seagate tape drive so I don't know much about it, however, a google search revealed the following:
