Hello. I have a cobalt raq server and I created a backup and downloaded it.

Question is, is there any way to extract the files from it on my Windows PC? Or a program I can use? Thanks!

If it's a perl script, then install ActiveState Perl on your windows box and
run the script there. Might need to be tweaked a little.. I don't have the
script, nor have I ever needed to use it so I don't know exactly how it's
written.. I don't know if it uses any UNIX system calls or what so I can't
tell you for sure if it'll work.. Post the link to it, and I'll be glad to
take a look at it if you have any problems with it.. Can't make any
promises though..
