Thanks for your answer.

You won't, I promise.

I do have several very old backup archives made with R-DriveImage, in ".arc" format, that newer versions of R-DriveImage (and also R-Studio) cannot open, since the internal format has probably changed. This request was to ensure I wouldn't have to keep several versions of R-DriveImage.

Thanks for your answer.

I don't think that's worth doing. R-Drive Image is going to understand the old format even with following new versions.

Hello,

I use R-DriveImage on a daily basis and find it really good. I was wondering if it was possible to convert my old .arc backups to .rdr new format ?

Whille I could do it in two steps now (restore the .arc to a disk, then rebackup the disk to .rdr), it would be quite time-consuming, and I would loose some metadata such as original backup time and more.

Additionally, an import-export for other media formats yould also be quite valuable (for example : dd/raw, .vhd or even .e01).

Bruno Kerouanton.

PS : thanks for the Realtek Gigabit interface support in your latest version, much appreciated !
