I got several backup files from the computer.
File name is like this.
xxx.dat5.backup
Even though i tried to open this file using viewpro, card convert, split, i failed all.
Is there any other way to read the data or convert file format?
thanks.
They are simply text files.
Open them with any text editor
Thanks for reply.
By the way, i found one more problem.
If i collected data using loggernet in TOA5 format, backup files are in TOA5 too. Then I can open them. But in case of TOB1, I can't.
Do you have any solution to open TOB1 backup file for this?
It seems to be broken somewhere in the middle of file.
Try looking at this thread

It lists a few binary file viewers
Cheers

TOB1 is one of CSI's binary file formats. You can use Card Convert to change the file from TOB1 to TOA5 (or other format). You'll probably need to remove/change the .backup extension to .dat.
A backup file gets created automatically by LoggerNet when something in the header changes (new column for the table, data type changed for a field, etc). Older versions of LoggerNet would also create a backup if the OS of the datalogger changed -- we've relaxed these rules a little, I believe starting with LN 4.0.
