[Coco] old backups, RESTORED!

Woohoo!

I not only restored a BRU hard-drive backup of mine from 2K2 onto a
drivewire virtual disk, but also Ricky's old HDKIT backup (from 91 or
so?) to drivewire!

No great long-lost gems of forgotten OS-9 software, I'm afraid.  But I
did find some data I thought was gone forever.

>From the config files, though, Ricky had a very well-connected UUCP
node.

As far as the restore process goes for the two backup tools, they're
about the same.  BRU wants to restore to the same device that was
backed up, and this can be a problem if you backed up /dd.  HDKIT
requires more user input during the restore process.
