What version of GoldMine would have produced a .gmb backup file?
Outside of GoldMine, what app could restore that file - pkunzip doesn't recognize it.

TIA,
Kevin

Many versions of GoldMine can create this type of file only we have always told you not to utilize the GM backup utility.  You will most probably not be able to restore that file.

This type of file was created by a dBase version of GM.  As DJ stated, do not use GM's backup routine.

DJ, if you're in Aruba, why are you spending time here?  Go enjoy.

Anyway, I answered my own question, and found 6.7 on one of my laptops and will restore it there, and then zip them.

I'm doing this for a friend, who is doing a conversion for someone and a .gmb was what they gave him.

I didn't recognize the .gmb because I have NEVER used GoldMine's backup.

Thanks to all who responded so quickly.

And just a heads up - if I go on vacation, I'm not reading these groups while I'm gone - you'll just have to make do without me.
