I must admit that I've never faced this since moving to Win95, and don't 
look forward to it (because of the complexity of the OS).  Prior to that 
the procedure was:
1.  Boot DOS from an emergency DOS floppy.
2.  Load the backup software from floppy.
3.  Restore the system.
4.  Restore the full data backup.
5.  Restore the data differential backup (just one since it's a 
differential, not an incremental).
With Win95 the procedure would be the same, except step 1 is to boot Win95 
from an emergency Win95 startup disk, followed by a minimal install of the 
OS.  After restoring the complete OS, the registry would also have to be 
restored.
