Restore from Logs?

[Lee Jenkins]

Hello,

I'm having some trouble understanding the syntax for populating a backup
with logged updates.  In the manual, is says:

shell> ls -1 -t -r file_name.[0-9]* | xargs cat | mysql

I'm running MySQL on Win98 and Win2000.  I've tried using the syntax above,
but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am in a crunch.
