Back in the day (2004 specifically), our old IBM PS2 quit (DOS) that ran our Geopak cmm. I physically remounted the hard-drive into an IBM Series 80 machine that had an older version of Windows on it and just copied the program folders over. Ran just fine until years later we upgraded to MCosmos with a new PC.
We had to use only certain IBM PC's because the GPIB card was for an MCA slot, not ISA or PCI (even though we probably could have tracked down a PCI interface card, but hey I had just found several functional Series 80 computers on the curb so it was a freebie with just a little time invested.
Just keep in mind DOS based CMM software is dated (functional but dated). There are many productivity gains that can be had by weaning off of them and transitioning into new software.
(for actually backing up, either copy the directory over or print out hard copies)
