[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1927346, member: 56379"] Definitely understand where you're coming from...and the technology mis-match you're dealing with. This is the problem when having older archived data...need to maintain some sort of macOS, app version, and hardware combination so that older archived data can be accessed in the future. Ideally, when older technology is superseded by newer technologies...it's best to convert archived data stored on older hardware technologies (or if the archived data depends on older apps/app versions)...to convert to newer apps/hardware technology. I still have older data from the 1980's & 1990's laying around my place...and still have older Apple computers...running the appropriate macOS version's...necessary apps versions...AND...older external peripherals to read the data (floppy drives, older hard drive interfaces, magneto-optical drives, etc.). It is a very big project (if someone has a lot of older data)...to convert it to newer storage technologies. Believe it or not...I've had Mac-Forums members send me old archived data they had stored on older hardware (or older storage technologies)...that I extracted for them...and then placed the data on newer storage technologies (for example data stored on old magneto-optical disks...then placed on USB thumb drives...and returned to the owner). My suggestion is (if no other solution can be found)...obtain the combination of Apple hardware, macOS version, and DV Backup app version that are compatible with each other...then you'll have what you need to access the archived data. Even if this requires the purchase of a older piece of Apple hardware (notebook or desktop computer)...and assuming the archived data is valuable enough.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
