Any problems Restoring to FAT32 from a tape backup done from FAT16?

I plan on upgrading a Windows 95 OSR2 FAT16 (OEM, FAT32 not available) to
Windows 98 2nd Edition, to get FAT32. My 6GB hard drive is quite full, and
I've purchased a 30GB second drive.

I am hoping to do a Full Backup from my Win95 setup, temporarily delete a
bunch of files to free up space for the upgrade to Win98, do the upgrade,
install the new drive, and then Restore the deleted file to a new "FAT32
home" on the big drive.

So, I'm wondering if there are any problems Restoring to FAT32 from a tape
backup done from FAT16, either with the current 4.5 Backup Exec Desktop or
with the Backup Exec product that was in place when Seagate sold it to
Veritas?

I gladly welcome responses from both those who have had no problems and
those who have had any problems. Thanks in advance.

FAT32 and FAT16 are having nothing to with the backup/restore. It is just
the "system" on how the files are stored on the hard-drive. The same files
are stored on your tape completely different than on a harddrive. So you can
restore on "any" FAT partition, even on a NTFS (WIN NT) partition.
Anyway, you can get your "wish" faster:
-Install the new hard-drive and partition/format it.
-Copy the whole \windows folder from old drive to new drive. Just copy,
don't move. You may move other folders containing applications to the new
drive.
-Make a system disk with the needed CD-Rom drivers, except you can boot from
CD and you're having a bootable CD
-Restart the computer in plain DOS-mode
-Delete the whole \windows folder on the old drive
-Re-boot the computer from system-floppy or bootable CD and install WIN98.
Select FAT32 or change to FAT32 after installing WIN98.
-When WIN98 is running ok, you can copy/move back the data you need from new
drive to old drive
