The 4.5 PRO version has disaster recovery. Why don't you try reading
a tape from your 2.0b ER floppies? You don't need a full backup.
Just back up a couple of test files.

I tried reading a V4.5 tape with V2.0b recovery disks and it was
unsuccessful. The strange thing is that a tape written by V4.5 can be read
by the V2.0b Windows program.

I guess my emergency backup will be to write a bootstrap partition using
2.0b and then once that is loaded, I can restore the rest of my system from
that.
