RE: [cobalt-users] extract Raq backup on Windows?

hmm, this is the conclusion I'm drawing to. The problem I've got is that the
backup files are about 500mb and to have a valid backup which will restore
after any problems, Im presuming you need to download the whole lot,
including the header.

If I was to have a local copy on my windows machine which will allow
extraction (eg from winzip), I would then have to run the 'strip' script on
the backup and also download a non-header version, making it a near a gig
transfer??

What is the reasoning behind the 'header strip' script not being able to run
on windows?? I know theres differences in unix and windows files but is
there potentially a way this could be done or is it a no?

Thanks
