Hi,

Is there anyway to open a backup file created in the Windowx XP backup programme on a Mac?

Thanks

You will need to use software that can open BackUp Exec style files as I believe BackUp Exec furnished the technology that the built-in NT Backup utility uses.

The best way to do this is with Windows and either the native Windows backup utility or a compatible version of BackUp Exec.

Kind of a pain but if you restore the files to a volume that can be mounted on the Mac you can suck off the data without too much problem.
