Viewing backup files

[Raven316]

Is there anyway to view your backup files with a third party app?

[Piotr]

Backup files are fairly simple XML files, once you save them from iTunes somewhere on your PC/Mac, you can open them with any text or XML editor.

[Piotr]

Not even in notepad? I assume you're on a pc, is that right?

[Raven316]

Yes on pc windows I will try again. I'll post my result and if I get an error the exact error .. Thanks for the great support you guys rock.

I'm afraid I'm an one man band

Ok so I retried in both word and notepad and it does open the file but it's in non readable format and I also tried opening it in Internet explorer and there it gives me an error any suggestions . Keep up the good work one man show ...ps I'm trying to open and want to open the files of precious and trades folders

[Piotr]

OK, try changing the file's extension from .imtgbackup to .xml and give it a go in explorer again.

In any case, your definition of 'readable' is probably different than mine. What do you want to do with those files / data? Import to some other app / website?

[Raven316]

I already tried changing the extention and that did not work I either get an error message something about sprite or file opens and I see open and closed statements with Id numbers in between. I want to be able to view the precious and trade binder like I can with my .dec files ie read it in a text file and be able to import them in magic workstation or email my list ect.

[Piotr]

I see. This is on my TODO list.
