Howdy again. In the process of renovating the computer software at his
law office, my brother picked up some disks containing backup
software, but has been unable to crack the system used to create the
backups. There are files on the disks reading BACKUPID.@@@, and he
needs to know what software is responsible, so he can render the
backed-up software usable - does this format strike a responsive chord
in anyone's memory? How does one go about recovering files backed up
in this format?
Any helpful ideas should be e-mailed, please (I don't read this
group), and I (and my brother) thank you in advance.
