One of my systems has crashed and won't come back up. I know that it is
not hardware because I can boot my maintenance partition on the same
machine. It hangs during the boot process just after switching the
display to graphics mode. The clock cursor is on the screen (but nothing
else), and I can usually move it around with the mouse. Otherwise, it's
dead.

I have tried restoring my RoboSave backup, but that does not work.

I have a number of backups (SYSBCKxx.ZIP) from UniMaint taken over the
past month, but I can't figure out how to restore any of them. There is
a SUPRESTR.CMD in the UniMaint directory, but that refers to 2
SUPBCKxx.zip files, the latest of which is dated 8-19-03. The
SYSBCKxx.ZIP files seem to contain the desktop and ini file information
in nested zip files.

The big question: How do I restore the data? I have looked at all of the
.TXT files that I can find in the UniMaint directory without finding any
answers.

Help anyone? Steven? Thanks!
